1993 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season
The 1993 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season was the franchise's 18th season in the National Football League.
1993 was mostly seen as a rebuilding year for coach Sam Wyche who moved on without Vinny Testaverde and went with young quarterback Craig Erickson, another University of Miami alumnus who won a national championship as their quarterback. He had a solid 3054 passing yards. The Bucs lost five of their first six games on the way to a 5-11 season.
The 1993 Buccaneers have the distinction of being the only team in NFL history to have played eleven games against teams that would go on to make the playoffs; the Buccaneers were 3–8 in these games.
In his first season with the team, Hardy Nickerson set a Buccaneer record with 214 tackles.Offseason
