When the 2026 Pro Bowl games rosters were announced before Christmas, there were some surprises across the board and in both conferences. However, for the Bucs, they had been struggling mightily at that point so seeing anyone named to the Pro Bowl was a bit of a shock.
Fast forward to Tuesday night and the Pro Bowl flag football game, one of the Bucs who had been voted to the game stepped up for the NFC. Antoine Winfield Jr. had himself a game and capped it off with an interception late off a Joe Burrow pass.
The Bucs also had the likes of Tristan Wirfs, Jamel Dean, and Baker Mayfield on the NFC roster after earning Pro Bowl honors. The team would like to send more players next year with a strong 2026 compared to the rollercoaster of a season they just experienced.
