La temporada 2019 fue la 44 ° de los Tampa Bay Buccaneers en la Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano (NFL), su 22 ° jugando sus partidos en casa en el Estadio Raymond James y el primero bajo la dirección del entrenador en jefe Bruce Arians . A pesar de mejorar su récord de 5-11 de 2018 con una victoria de la Semana 14 sobre los Indianapolis Colts , los Buccaneers se perdieron los playoffs por duodécima temporada consecutiva, lo que significó que los Buccaneers fueron uno de los dos equipos que no calificaron para la postemporada en la década de 2010. siendo el otro equipo los Cleveland Browns .
Esta temporada, el mariscal de campo Jameis Winston se convirtió en el primer mariscal de campo en la historia de la NFL en lanzar al menos 30 pases de touchdown y 30 intercepciones en una temporada. [1] Esta fue también su última temporada con los Buccaneers, ya que el equipo no lo volvió a firmar en la agencia libre durante la temporada baja de 2020. [2]
