Four flags flying for the 2024 Krewe
The 2024 Bucs could make a Sunday loud. Baker Mayfield and rookie Bucky Irving helped turn the offense into one of the league’s most productive, while Mike Evans kept his remarkable 1,000-yard streak alive. A 4–6 record at the bye left little room for error; Tampa Bay answered with six wins in its final seven games and a fourth straight NFC South title. Washington ended the playoff trip with a field goal as time expired.
Tampa Bay entered the playoffs as the NFC’s No. 3 seed. Roster games, starts and season-leader statistics cover the 17-game regular season; the January 2025 playoff game appears separately below.

Efficient passing, a narrow defeat: Mayfield completed 15 of 18 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Mike Evans and Bucky Irving caught the scoring passes, and the Bucs carried a 17–13 lead into the fourth quarter.
No time for another answer: After Tampa Bay tied the game at 20–20, Washington held the ball for the final 4:41. Zane Gonzalez’s 37-yard field goal struck the right upright and went through as time expired, ending the Buccaneers’ season.

Participation details: Game-by-game participation is checked against official player records and playtime tables, with documented corrections applied where summaries disagree. Practice-squad elevations without a game appearance are not counted as games played; appearances for other teams are excluded. All players who appeared in the Wild Card game also appeared during the regular season. Adam Gotsis joined the practice squad during the postseason but did not appear in the game. The additional-player table contains no game appearances in either phase.
Roster correction: C.J. Brewer is credited with 12 regular-season games. The season-review participation chart incorrectly marks an appearance against San Francisco on November 10; the official playtime table and player records list him as not playing that day.
Regular season and playoffs: The 17-game regular season ended on January 5, 2025. The January 12, 2025 playoff game belongs to the 2024 NFL season. Postseason games and starts are excluded from the main roster table.
Historical scope: This was Tampa Bay’s 49th season. Record-setting achievements are described as they stood in 2024. The club finished 10–7 in the regular season and 0–1 in the postseason. Its fourth consecutive division title extended the franchise record.
Honors and statistics: Pro Bowl recognition belongs to the 2024 season; the 2025 event was the Pro Bowl Games. Initial selections and later replacements are identified separately. AP All-Pro recognition is a separate award. Final official statistics are used where corrected totals differ from an earlier season-review table.
