‘These teams have played just 13 times overall and in a weird scheduling blip, the first eight were in Tampa Bay between 1976 and 2005, and Buffalo lost eight of those games. The Bucs finally came north on Sept. 20, 2009, and the Bills rolled to a 33-20 victory, one of the few high points in the final season of the Dick Jauron coaching era. He was fired midway through that season with the Bills on their way to a 10th straight absence from the playoffs.’

‘He had a rough 2024 campaign with the Jaguars. He played in only 10 games due to injury, and in those contests, he totaled just 20 catches. That injury is in part why the Jags let Gabe leave and hit free agency, where the Bills eventually signed him back.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Buccaneers at Bills: Sal's keys, notes and stats
‘Every team wants to start fast and get a lead, but it’s apparent this Buffalo Bills club really needs to do it in order to control the game and play the way they want. When the Bills can do that, they can lean on their running game and put more pressure on the other team, which can cause mistakes. Not falling behind to the Buccaneers like they did against the Dolphins would really help.’
How to watch, stream and listen to Bills vs. Buccaneers

Today in Bills stadium history: Nov. 16
‘2003 — Texans 12, Bills 10 — Travis Henry rushed for 149 yards but Buffalo failed to score a touchdown for a third consecutive game, and rookie sensation Andre Johnson’s 46-yard touchdown reception was the difference in an less than stellar encounter filled with field goals and safeties. Bills linebacker Jeff Posey knocked Texans QB David Carr out of the game and Sam Adams knocked Carr’s fumble out of the end zone for a safety in the first quarter. Adams also had two sacks, Antoine Winfield made an interception, and Buffalo’s defense gave up only 34 yards rushing and 12 first downs. Tony Banks had 207 yards passing for the Texans in relief of Carr. Drew Bledsoe had 189 yards passing and lost a fumble on Buffalo’s final possession with under two minutes remaining. Both teams had 4-6 records after this game. Attendance at Ralph Wilson Stadium was 72,677.’
