It appears that people are finally starting to come around to the idea of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers being a rather good football team in 2025.
After back-to-back division titles and playoff appearances under Baker Mayfield, and after keeping most of the roster together, adding Haason Reddick in free agency, and having another solid draft haul, the Bucs are in business.
Now, we aren't saying they will be in Super Bowl contention, but what about contention in the NFC?
CBS Sports' Tyler Sullivan, in his latest NFC rankings, has the Bucs at No. 6, with the much-fancied Green Bay Packers (5) and Los Angeles Rams (4) ahead of them.
