Tampa Bay Buccaneers Secure Fourth NFC South Title and Playoff Berth with 27-19 Win Over Saints

Jan 5, 2025, 09:16 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have clinched the NFC South title for the fourth consecutive season, securing a playoff berth with a comeback victory over the New Orleans Saints, winning 27-19. This victory marks the Buccaneers' fifth straight playoff appearance and secures them the fourth seed in the NFC. The win eliminated the Atlanta Falcons from playoff contention, despite their game against the Panthers going into overtime. The Buccaneers' success in the latter part of the season, winning six of their final seven games, allowed them to edge out the Falcons, who finished the season on a 2-6 skid. The team, led by head coach Todd Bowles and quarterback Baker Mayfield, won a Super Bowl in the 2020 season and now aims to leverage their late-season momentum for a deep postseason run.
