Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2001 Season Schedule & Scores

Overall record:	9-7
Home record:	5-3
Away record:	4-4

In 2001, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tackled a challenging season with rookie head coach Jon Gruden at the helm. Despite losing star quarterback Brad Johnson to a severe knee injury, the team rallied under backup Trent Dilfer and standout running back Warrick Dunn. The Buccaneers' defense, powered by stalwarts Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks, continued to be a dominant force. Nevertheless, offensive inconsistencies and a tough schedule led to a 9-7 record, narrowly missing a playoff spot.
