The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' playoff hopes are completely out of their control in Week 18 despite the fact that they took down the rival Carolina Panthers on Saturday. Thanks to tiebreaker wackiness, the winner of the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints game will decide the No. 4 seed in the NFC.
If the Falcons win, a three-way tie atop the NFC South will land Carolina the No. 4 seed thanks to some head-to-head wins. If the Saints win, the Bucs will remain ahead of the Panthers and get yet another home playoff game.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield, like many fans, was not taking too kindly to the fact that he had to root for one of his most hated division rivals and hope that Kellen Moore's offensive brain would be good enough to get the Bucs into the playoffs.
