Here are the Buccaneers (slim) playoff chances after beating the Panthers in Week 18

For the first time in five weeks, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally -- mercifully -- won a game.

The problem is it might be too little too late. Back at the beginning of December the Bucs' path to the playoffs was crystal clear, as all they needed to do was win two of their last five games. That didn't happen, as Tampa Bay came into Week 18 on a four game losing streak, something that had forfeited control of its own destiny.

It's a good news-bad news situation, as the Bucs at least ended the season on a win, which might end up saving some jobs.
