Don’t look now but the team from Central Florida is back in first place and they occupy the spot all by their lonesome. Following a Tampa Bay victory last week against the Green Bay Packers and a New Orleans Saints loss on Thursday Night Football, the Buccaneers have complete control over their destiny. The team sits pretty with the only non-losing record in the division.
To their credit, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of 2023 are battle-tested. They may not be the favorites, or anyone’s pick to manifest a deep playoff run, but the team has survived adversity this year.
