- Deckerhoff’s tenure spans more than 750 Buccaneers games with over 1,100 “Touchdown, Tampa Bay!” calls, ranking third among single-team NFL radio play-by-play runs behind Merrill Reese and Brad Sham.
- Known for signature lines such as “Fire the Cannons!” and “There it is! The dagger’s in! We’re going to win the Super Bowl!”, he voiced both of Tampa Bay’s championship seasons.
- Owner Bryan Glazer lauded Deckerhoff’s role in the franchise’s most iconic moments, and Deckerhoff cited gratitude for his longtime crew, including 19-year partner Dave Moore.
- Tampa Bay enters Saturday at 7-9 and must beat the Panthers to keep postseason hopes alive, advancing only with a win and if the Falcons lose or tie the Saints on Sunday.
