Forget about the Carolina Panthers. They sit in a league of their own in the NFC South. For the Atlanta Falcons to end their playoff drought in 2016, they will need to overcome to young and hungry Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Buccaneers finished below the Falcons last season with a 6-10 record, but they posted a series sweep over Atlanta and are poised to make a huge jump in Jameis Winston‘s second season.
Winston is the symbol of change in Tampa Bay, and his development will determine how far the Bucs go in the coming years.
