1982 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Season - Team and Individual Records

Team and Individual Records

Some team records set in 1982 still stand. The following would remain team records if averaged and projected out to a full 16-game season:

  • Fewest penalties allowed in a season (38)
  • Fewest yards penalized in a season (297)
  • Most fumbles in a game (8 vs. New York Jets, 12/12)

The following remains a record due to the shortened season, but is not on pace for a record if projected out to a full season:

  • Fewest sacks allowed (11), only one short of the 12 allowed by the 1979 team

The following records set in 1982 have since been broken:

  • Fewest passes intercepted (11, broken in 2002)
  • Most rushing attempts by an opposing player (34 by John Riggins of Washington on 9/19, broken by Heath Sherman of Philadelphia on 10/6/1991)
  • Most points placekicking, single game (14 by Bill Capece against Chicago on 1/1/83, later tied by three others and broken twice by Martin Gramatica)

Famous quotes containing the words team, individual and/or records:

    Romeo. I dreamt a dream tonight.
    Mercutio. And so did I.
    Romeo. Well, what was yours?
    Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
    Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
    Mercutio. O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
    She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
    In shape no bigger than an agate stone
    On the forefinger of an alderman,
    Drawn with a team of little atomi
    Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Well, I learned a lot.... You’d be surprised. They’re all individual countries.
    Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    The camera relieves us of the burden of memory. It surveys us like God, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so cynical, for the camera records in order to forget.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
