The Bucs kickoff return team finally found the sweet spot in last Sunday's game.
This past Sunday marked the first time in franchise history that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers returned a kick-off for a touchdown, taking a mere 32 years to join the rest of the league, including the disgraceful 8-year old Texans. With this inspiring moment we went ahead and took a look at some of the other strange streaks in sports, both those that remain intact and those that were also broken Sunday.
