Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the hunt for an upset

Now, with Tom Brady in the pocket, the Buccaneers are going all out to claim Super Bowl #2. And if they manage to make it to the NFL’s summit, they’ll be making history in a unique way.

Super Bowl LV is set to be played at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The Buccaneers home ground. So if the Buccaneers manage to eke out a win against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers today, they’ll set up a Super Bowl tie at their own backyard.

No team has ever managed to achieve this feat in NFL history. But with Tom Brady around, records and achievements are meant to be broken.
