The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have an incentive to finish the regular season strong, both as a team and for at least a couple of individuals.
The Bucs, who host Carolina on Sunday (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS), can win the No. 2 seed in the NFC, and quarterback Tom Brady is one of many NFL players with bonuses and incentives tied into his contract, which means winning and losing won't be confined to the field.
Brady needs the Buccaneers to have a better yards-per-rush average this year than last year -- something Tampa Bay currently has at 4.
