SERIES HISTORY
The Redskins and Buccaneers have met 18 times in regular season play dating back to the teams' first meeting on Oct. 9, 1977. The all-time series between the two teams is deadlocked at 10-10, including postseason play. The teams are 9-9 against one another all-time in regular season play.

The teams' last regular season meeting came on Sept. 30, 2012, in what became the first fourth-quarter comeback in the career of quarterback Robert Griffin III. After Tampa Bay took the lead with 1:42 remaining, Griffin III engineered a seven-play, 56-yard drive that culminated with the eventual game-winning 31-yard field goal with three seconds remaining.

A win Sunday would give the Redskins consecutive regular season wins against the Buccaneers for the first time since defeating Tampa Bay during the 1998 and 2000 seasons.
