"Here is the only highlight I'm going to give you from Panthers-Bucs, because, frankly, it's what you deserve for clicking on a blog about the NFC South, thereby incentivizing the continued existence of the division when it ought to be consigned to the dustbin of history, or, barring that, launched into the Sun. It's the game's final play, as chaotic and unsuccessful and poorly thought-out as the division itself."
"That cinched a 16-14 Buccaneers victory on a soggy and sloppy late afternoon in Tampa, in which the Bucs won despite Baker Mayfield throwing his ninth pick in eight games. But Bryce Young donated an interception of his own, and Rico Dowdle lost a key fumble on an attempted flea flicker when he slipped on the wet grass. The Bucs win guarantees that a team with a losing record will win the division,"
The Buccaneers defeated the Panthers 16-14 on a chaotic final play in a soggy Tampa game. Baker Mayfield threw his ninth interception in eight games, while Bryce Young also threw an interception and Rico Dowdle fumbled after slipping on wet grass. The victory ensures the NFC South will be won by a team with a losing record. Tampa holds a two-team tiebreaker over Carolina, but Carolina can create a three-team tiebreaker with Atlanta. The Falcons can force a three-way under-.500 tie by beating New Orleans, creating unusual rooting interests for playoff qualification.
