The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have dug themselves into a hole in the NFC South title race. As bad as things are, though, there's still a ton of light at the end of the tunnel, and the Bucs can get some big help on Sunday.
The team started the season 6-2 and looked like they’d be able to cruise to another division title, but after losing five of their last six games, they’ve fallen to 7-7 and surrendered control of the division to the Carolina Panthers.
The Panthers will face off against the lowly New Orleans Saints on Sunday, and if they beat the Saints, they can go on to clinch the NFC South with a win over the Buccaneers next weekend.
