- A Tampa Bay Buccaneers victory over the Carolina Panthers next week combined with an Atlanta Falcons loss on Monday would clinch the NFC South title, but the Bucs face long odds in the wild-card round.
- After a 6-2 start at the bye, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have collapsed, with Todd Bowles stressing accountability while veterans and Baker Mayfield warn this is their last chance.
