Updated NFC Playoff picture after Week 8: Buccaneers climb back up the standings

Last week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had some of the wind sucked out of their sails, but things smoothed out a bit on Sunday. Blowing out a division opponent will do that, as the Bucs ride into their bye week hot off a 23-3 win over the Saints.

It's a victory that puts them at 6-2 and right back in the thick of the race for a top seed in the NFC playoff picture.

There's still a ton of season left, and a lot can happen, but the Bucs moved up in the standings thanks to everything that happened on Sunday.
