The NFL announced the complete 2022 schedule on Thursday, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are officially set to kick off their 2022 season at the Dallas Cowboys at 8:20 p.m. ET for Sunday Night Football on NBC. Their first divisional game will be in Week 2 on the road at the New Orleans Saints.
The Bucs finished the regular season 13-4 before losing in the divisional round of the playoffs to the eventual Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams. Quarterback Tom Brady retired and then unretired, so that filled their void at the position. Head coach Bruce Arians stepped into a front-office role and allowed defensive coordinator Todd Bowles to replace him. In the NFL Draft, the time mainly added depth, including two tight ends, Cade Otton and Ko Kieft.
All times listed are Eastern.
