The best day of the NFL season was Sunday and it was a good one for former Tigers.
Carlton Davis and Jamel Dean helped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Green Bay Packers, 31-26, in the NFC Championship Game and will now play in the Super Bowl on Feb. 7 in Tampa.
While Davis and Dean were victorious, former Auburn defensive lineman Montravius Adams was placed on the injured reserve list by the Packers earlier in the season and was on the losing side.
The Buffalo Bills had former Auburn wideout Duke Willaims on their practice squad. Former Auburn lineman Prince Tega Wanogho is on the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad and ensures at least one former Tiger will end this season with a ring.
With the win, the Buccaneers became the first team in NFL history to play in a Super Bowl they are hosting. The game will take place in Raymond-James Stadium on Feb. 7.
