Bucs Nation
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Buffalo Bills this weekend, but they kept their playoff position. Tampa remains fourth in the NFC.
The Carolina Panthers are knocking on the door, however, and sit a half-game behind Tampa for the top spot in the division.
The biggest games in the NFC playoff picture have yet to happen on Sunday, as huge late-window games for the Seattle Seahawks San Francisco 49ers, and Los Angeles Rams still await with the Sunday night game between the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles.
