With the NFC South crown officially in their possession, the Buccaneers (11-4) were on the road Sunday for their regular season road finale against the New York Jets (4-11).
Tampa Bay entered play on Sunday as the NFC’s No. 4 seed with two games to play. While the top seed was already mostly out of its reach, the team was still looking to improve its positioning in the playoff picture. Getting as high as No. 2 was still in play, which would certainly be beneficial. After all, the Bucs are 6-1 at Raymond James Stadium this year, so they’re looking to earn as many home games as possible throughout the month of January.
