Buccaneers were big winners in Week 9, and didn't even need to play a snap

Without playing a single snap on Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended up being one of the biggest winners of the weekend.

It was all thanks to a fantastic slew of outcomes that bounced the Bucs' way:

  • Detroit lost at home to Minnesota
  • Atlanta lost its fifth game of the season, this time to New England

The Packers losing was the most significant result, as it shifted the entire NFC playoff picture. Philadelphia owns a head-to-head tiebreaker over the Bucs, which is why the Eagles now own the No. 1 seed but Tampa Bay is right there behind them in second place.
