The Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured their fourth consecutive NFC South title and a playoff berth with a 23-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints. The Buccaneers' offense, led by Baker Mayfield and rookie standout Bucky Irving, overcame a sluggish first half to secure the win. Wide receiver Mike Evans also reached a significant milestone, recording his 11th consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playoff-bound once again after securing their fourth successive NFC South title thanks to their Week 18 23-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints .
Bucky Irving once again was his electrifying self, scampering for 89 yards and a score while fellow rookie Jalen McMillan continued his hot streak, catching five passes for 74 yards and a score to bring his total to seven touchdowns in the past five games. With not much time left in the game, it felt like Evans' record-tying accomplishment was going down the drain. Fortunately, the Bucs got the ball back with under a minute left and found Evans with enough room to walk off the game, reaching his 1,000 yards.
