If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers want to get to 5-1 and secure the top seed in the NFC, it will have to happen without some key players in the mix.
Mike Evans and Bucky Irving were already ruled out for Sunday's game, but they've been joined by both Chris Godwin and Zyon McCollum. It's hard to overstate just how hard the injury torpedo has slammed into the side of Tampa Bay's season, but the ship isn't leaking the way it otherwise should be.
Despite missing important players, the Bucs are 4-1 and in a position to move into the top spot in the NFC and live among the very best teams in the entire league.
