New England Patriots All-time record: 2-4 The Bucs have played the Patriots just six times in their history including two nine-year spans between games thanks to the quirks of the NFL's original scheduling systems. And hence after a near miss in 1988 when Ray Perkins decided to kick off in overtime instead of receiving, it wasn't until the 1997 encounter which was shown live in the UK on Sky Sports that the Bucs finally got their first win over the champions of SuperBowl XXXVI. Their most recent meeting was the 2000 season opener in Foxboro, that the Bucs hung on to win in spite of a late New England comeback bid.
