The Tampa Bay Buccaneers should be a 9-5 football team right now. A pair of divisional losses against the terrible Saints and Falcons has sent Tampa Bay into a full-on panic, and is causing fans to question whether Todd Bowles and Baker Mayfield deserve another chance in 2026.
Still, despite falling to 7-7 and into second place in the NFC South, Tampa Bay still has a 54% chance to reach the playoffs, according to NFL.com.
It might feel like the sky is falling and the season is over, but there's still time to turn things around and a very clear path for the Bucs to make the playoffs.
