The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' NFC South hopes are dwindling.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had aspirations to win their division for the 4th year in a row. Now, that goal is looking more and more difficult as time goes on.
The Bucs dropped a close 30-24 game to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime, going to 4-5 on the year. They'll face the San Francisco 49ers in what should be a tough game in Week 10 before the bye week, and their schedule after that is quite favorable — but with how things have been going recently, it may not matter.
The team to watch is the Atlanta Falcons, who now control their own destiny after sweeping the Bucs in the division and currently sit at 4-0 in the NFC South. They unfortunately won their game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, bringing them to 6-3 — two games out from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who would need to win one more game than the Falcons to win the NFC South.There was indeed a change at the bottom of the division.
The Bucs will play the 49ers at home while the Falcons will face the New Orleans Saints for the second time, The Carolina Panthers will play the New York Giants in Germany.River Wells is a sports journalist from St. Petersburg, Florida, who has covered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 2023.
