NFC South standings heading into Week 17: The Buccaneers are in control

It wasn’t long ago that the Tampa bay Buccaneers were the only consistently bad team in the NFC South. The Bucs won a Super Bowl in 2002 and captured division titles in 2005 and 2007, but then went well over a decade without standing atop the NFC South.

Those times have changed, unfortunately. With Tom Brady at the helm, the Bucs won a Super Bowl in 2021 and won the putrid NFC South in 2022. Now they appear to be well on their way to winning a third straight divisional title, and have not faded away the way I thought they might post-Brady.
