2014 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season

The 2014 season was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 39th in the National Football League (NFL). It was also the first season under head coachLovie Smith, replacing Greg Schiano, who was fired at the end of the 2013 season, and under general manager Jason Licht, who replaced Mark Dominik after a disappointing 2013 season. It was the franchise's first season under new ownership since 1994, after longtime owner Malcolm Glazer died on May 28, 2014. Glazer's sons took over team operations.

The Buccaneers tried to improve their record of 4–12 of last season, but failed after tying their number of losses when they lost to Carolina in Week 15. Following a 2–14 record, their worst since 1986, the Buccaneers finished last overall in the NFC and tied with the Tennessee Titans for the worst record of the 2014 season, but was statistically (via a tiebreaker) last overall for the 2014 NFL season, thus earning the right to the first overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft. The Buccaneers did not win a single home game in 2014, going 0–2 during the preseason and 0–8 in the regular season at Raymond James Stadium. It was only the second time in franchise history, following their infamous 0-14 expansion team, that the Bucs did not win a home game during the season.
