TAMPA, Fla. (FNN SPORTS) – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will return to Raymond James Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 30 for a 1 p.m. ET matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, presented by GEICO. The Week 13 game will serve as the team’s Ring of Honor celebration, honoring former defensive end Simeon Rice as the 16th inductee during a halftime ceremony.

Simeon Rice to Be Inducted Into Ring of Honor

Rice, one of the most dominant defenders in Buccaneers history and a key member of the Super Bowl XXXVII championship team, will be honored throughout the game. He will lead the team through the pregame Hallway Walk, and former head coach Jon Gruden will present Rice with his Ring of Honor jacket during halftime. The ceremony will be hosted by Gene Deckerhoff and include members of the Glazer family, Rice family, and fellow Ring of Honor inductees.

The team will also release a Mitchell & Ness Simeon Rice throwback jersey, available at the Buccaneers Team Store.

My Cause My Cleats Spotlight

Nearly 60 Buccaneers players, coaches, and staff will participate in the NFL’s annual My Cause My Cleats campaign, which highlights charitable causes selected by each participant. More than 40 organizations will be represented by customized footwear created in partnership with Stadium Custom Kicks. Now in its tenth year, the league-wide initiative features more than 1,800 participants over a two-week span.

Glazer Family Small Business Fund and Tampa Bay Chef Series

On Sunday, the Buccaneers will continue recognizing recipients of the Glazer Family Small Business Fund. This week’s spotlight features Brian Seymour, owner of the Anna Maria General Store, the only grocery and convenience store on the north end of Anna Maria Island. Following recent storm damage, Seymour and his team supported residents and local law enforcement with donated supplies. Funding from the Glazer Family Small Business Fund helped maintain payroll and inventory during recovery. The program has awarded more than $1.2 million across nearly 300 small businesses in partnership with eight regional chambers of commerce.

As part of the Tampa Bay Chef Series presented by Corona, Week 13 will feature Chef Suz Lara of LARA. Known for her bold, Latin-inspired cuisine, she will prepare a Picadillo Tartar—raw beef tartare mixed with sofrito, smoked olives, capers, and golden raisin mostarda, served on a Cuban bread crostini. The dish will be available in the Hyundai Club (Section 212), Stadium Club (Section 237), and main concourse (Section 108).

OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. (FNN) — Jorge Figueroa, president of the Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida and a longtime economic advocate, has officially entered the race for the Florida House, seeking to represent voters in the St. Cloud–Osceola County region.

Figueroa said his campaign will center on affordability, property insurance reform, and expanding economic opportunity for working families. His announcement comes as Democrats continue efforts to flip the district after recent unsuccessful attempts, including in House District 47.

“I’m running to make Florida more affordable for working families and small business owners,” Figueroa said. “I grew up in public housing in Puerto Rico and came to the mainland at 16 to chase opportunity. My parents sold everything they owned so I could get an education—a sacrifice that changed my life.”

As president of the Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce, Figueroa has worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs, helping small businesses grow and strengthening economic pathways for local families. He said too many Floridians continue to struggle with skyrocketing property insurance costs, unaffordable rent, and rising prices for essentials such as groceries and gas.

The seat—representing a key portion of Osceola County—has become increasingly competitive in recent cycles, and Democrats hope Figueroa’s business background and personal story will energize voters ahead of the 2026 election.

Democrat Anthony Nieves, a former state financial crimes investigator is running again for Florida House District 47 seat.
