S³ Schedule Notes
Tampa opens with four of its first six games at home.
The NFC North gauntlet appears early: Vikings, Packers, Bears, and Lions.
The schedule gets significantly tougher after the bye.
Three playoff-caliber opponents close the season: Falcons, Rams, and Saints.
The Buccaneers have only three primetime appearances, which is surprisingly low for a team that has remained a playoff contender.
A schedule featuring the NFC North, AFC North, Rams, Chargers, and Cowboys gives Tampa Bay one of the more interesting schedules in the NFC without being overwhelmingly brutal.
