Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters a few weeks ago that every game from here on out is a playoff game, and the team is certainly acting like it.
The Bucs are on a three-game win streak, the latest of which came against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. The team won 34-20 on Sunday, bringing it to 7-7 and staying in the driver’s seat for the NFC South. It was a stellar offensive performance, and while the defense gave up quite a bit of yards, the Bucs were able to hold off the Packers and get the win at Lambeau Field.
It may be a playoff mentality and the Bucs have improved on a number of things, but the team still has a few things to work on before the postseason comes around. Check out how the Bucs related to the rest of the league statistically, per Team Rankings:
