2022 Buccaneers Roster & Season Archive

Another NFC South flag for the 2022 Krewe

The 2022 Buccaneers rarely made it easy on the Krewe. Todd Bowles took over as head coach, Tom Brady returned for a third Tampa Bay season, and an uneven campaign came down to a division showdown with Carolina on New Year’s Day. The Bucs won that one and claimed a second straight NFC South title. Their final regular-season record was 8–9; a home playoff loss to Dallas ended the voyage.

New faces earning their place: Rookie Rachaad White rushed for 481 yards, Cade Otton added 391 receiving yards, and Jake Camarda set a Buccaneers season record with a 48.8-yard gross punting average.

Season honors: Tristan Wirfs was Tampa Bay’s sole selection for the 2023 Pro Bowl Games, honoring the 2022 season. He also earned second-team AP All-Pro honors at right tackle. No Buccaneer was named to the AP first team. Official statistics & recognition

The division crown and the Dallas rematch

0 playoff wins · 1 loss

A 30–24 home win over Carolina on January 1 secured Tampa Bay’s second consecutive division title. Mike Evans caught three touchdown passes in that clincher. The Bucs finished the regular season 8–9 and hosted Dallas in the Wild Card round, four months after beating the Cowboys in the season opener.

Wild CardDallas CowboysRaymond James Stadium · HomeL 14–31

A difficult finish: Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes and ran for another as Dallas won 31–14. Brady finished with 351 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception; Julio Jones and Cameron Brate caught Tampa Bay’s touchdown passes.

Jensen’s return: Ryan Jensen started at center after missing the entire regular season on injured reserve. His one playoff start belongs here and in the additional-player notes, rather than in the regular-season games and starts above.

The 0–1 postseason is separate from the 8–9 regular season; the combined record was 8–10. The Dallas game statistics are postseason figures. Postseason sources & archive notes

Sources & archive notes

This completed-season participation archive includes 68 Tampa Bay regular-season game participants and 19 additional players from the club’s roster history. It is broader than a single-date 53-man roster. The main table’s games and starts count Tampa Bay regular-season appearances only.

Participation details: Official game-by-game participation takes precedence where roster summaries differ. Practice-squad elevations without a game appearance are not counted as games played; appearances for other teams are excluded. Ryan Jensen missed the regular season and started the playoff game. Duron Lowe joined during the postseason but did not appear.

Regular season and playoffs: The 17-game regular season ended on January 8, 2023. The January 16, 2023 playoff game belongs to the 2022 NFL season. Jensen is listed in the additional-player table; his playoff start is excluded from the regular-season table.

Historical scope: This was Tampa Bay’s 47th season. Record-setting achievements are described as they stood in 2022. The club finished 8–9 in the regular season and 0–1 in the postseason. The 5–4 designated home record includes the Munich game; Tampa Bay was 4–4 at Raymond James Stadium.

Honors and statistics: Pro Bowl recognition belongs to the 2022 season; the 2023 event was the Pro Bowl Games. AP All-Pro recognition is a separate award. Final official statistics are used where corrected totals differ from an earlier season-review table.
