The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the hottest team in the NFL
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the single-hottest team in the league heading into the 2020 season and nothing will be cooling them down any time soon.
The Buccaneers made a major splash when they signed QB Tom Brady to a two-year, $50 million deal earlier this offseason and followed that up with a trade to get his former teammate Rob Gronkowski.
Not only did the Buccaneers make these two major additions, they also had one of the better 2020 NFL Draft performances and did an excellent job keeping their defensive front-seven intact for the upcoming season.
Because of the major power moves the Buccaneers made during the offseason, Tampa Bay is now considered one of the favorites to make the NFL postseason and compete. That, in turn, has led to a growing jealousy among fan bases across the rest of the league.

NFL fans are growing more jealous of the Buccaneers
In many ways, you can’t blame the opposing fan bases for their growing disdain of the Bucs. Tampa Bay has spent the majority of the last two decades as a team pegged as a ‘lovable loser.’ Now, seemingly overnight, they’re considered one of the favorites to compete in the postseason.
When you add the fact that Tom Brady- one of the most polarizing figures in the league- is now the quarterback, you can easily see why the jealousy is growing and will continue to grow over the course of the next few months.
Just wait until the Bucs start winning some games, though. That’s when we’re going to see some major upheaval among some of those fringe playoff team fan bases.
