After all the struggles the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had this year, somehow the team has claimed first place in the NFC South. It was Baker Mayfield’s 11 yard touchdown pass to Cade Otton near the end of the 4th quarter that put the Bucs in the driver's seat for the rest of the season.
The Bucs are 6-7 now on the year, as are the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints. But when you factor in the tie breaking scenarios, your Bucs are locked in to first place in the NFC South. In the last 4 weeks of the season, the Bucs will face the Green Bay Packers, Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers.
