1977 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season The 1977 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season continued the losing streak that encompassed the entire 1976 season, and extended it to 26 games, which as of 2015 remains a record in the National Football League. Fear of becoming the Buccaneers’ first victim provided motivation to opposing teams. It took nearly two seasons for the Buccaneers to achieve their first franchise victory, a 33–14 win over the New Orleans Saints in the second-to-last game of the year. A crowd of 8,000 celebrating fans gathered at team headquarters to greet the team on their return from New Orleans. The very next week, the Bucs earned their first home victory, over the St. Louis Cardinals.
1983 Atlanta Falcons season The 1983 Atlanta Falcons season was the Falcons' 18th season in the National Football League. The team looked to improve on its 5-4 1982 season and make the playoffs for the second straight season. However, the Falcons started out terribly, losing 5 of their first 7 games. The Falcons overall would disappoint, and would finish the season with a mediocre 7-9 record. This was the first season under head coach Dan Henning.
