The Buccaneers defeated the Lions 47–7 Saturday afternoon, giving Tampa Bay its first playoff berth since 2007.
Entering Saturday, the Bucs held the NFC's longest playoff drought. The longest current playoff-less streak belongs to the Browns, who have not made the postseason since 2002. Cleveland can clinch a postseason berth as soon as Sunday with a win over the Jets, so long as either the Dolphins, Colts or Ravens also lose.
Following Tampa Bay's win, both the Washington Football Team and Cardinals have gone the longest without reaching the playoffs among NFC teams. Their most recent postseason appearances came in 2015.
