Take the Bucs two best seasons ever, 12-4 in 2002 and 11-5 twice in 1999 and 2005. Thats not as good of a winning percentage as the Bucs are when it doesnt commit a turnover. Tampa Bay is a lifetime 24-4 when it doesnt turn the ball over.
In 2002 when the Bucs won the Super Bowl, they had 5 turnover free games. Last year they had 6, the most ever. This is the second such game this year, the other was against the Indianapolis Colts; a win two weeks ago. Amazingly, two of those 6 games last year resulted in losses; Baltimore and Detroit.
