What’s Going To Happen, Who’s Going To Win the NFC Divisional Round
When was the last time Tampa Bay faced a fully loaded team with the offensive balance the Rams are bringing?
Philadelphia certainly didn’t have that, and neither did Carolina in the two late-season meetings. The Jets and Saints were a tad limited, too. The Bucs deals with Buffalo in Week 14 back in mid-December – they won in overtime, but they gave up 466 yards of total offense.
If you want to include the Colts in that balanced offense mix from back in Week 12, Tampa Bay has only dealt with a strong all-around attack twice since facing the Rams back in Week 3.
Brady will go Brady. He’ll spread the ball around, he’ll come up with a brilliant game, and he’ll have the running attack to help the cause. However, the Rams’ star-studded defense will take over for stretches after an early Tampa Bay scoring surge.
The Buccaneer defensive front will hold up just fine against Sony Michel and Cam Akers, and it’ll pressure Matthew Stafford enough to keep the deep plays from happening like they did in the first meeting. But the Rams will come up with the offense that Philadelphia didn’t and couldn’t.
It’ll be a fun fight, and Tampa Bay will never be out of it, but the 2021 Rams appear to be ready to play the role of the 2021 Buccaneers in these playoffs.
