The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a second half of the season from hell. After a 6-2 start that matched the best record through eight games in franchise history, the Bucs have inexplicably gone 1-7 since the bye week, going from contending for the NFC's No. 1 seed to a losing record.
Despite how poorly they've played, the Buccaneers somehow still have a chance to control their destiny. As long as the Atlanta Falcons lose one of their remaining two games, the Bucs would clinch the NFC South at 8-9 with a win over the Panthers next weekend.
