Buccaneers won the NFC South for the 3rd time in a row.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Carolina Panthers 9-0 and secured their 3rd straight NFC South trophy.

It was also the 2nd for manager Todd Bowles and the 1st in the franchise’s post-Tom Brady era, ending the campaign with a 9-8 record.

Baker played through a rib problem that was visible during the match. Still, despite that, Mayfield led 3 FG drives with Chase McLaughlin – inked during the offseason as he scored from 36, 57, and 39 yards, while the Bucs’ defense allowed Carolina to be into the team’s territory only 3 times.

A potential Carolina TD by WR D.J. Chark was wiped out with a forced fumble by Winfield, Jr., which CB Jamel Dean recovered. After that, near the end of the 3rd quarter, Carolina kicker Matthew Wright missed a 52-yard FG.

Tampa Bay finished about New Orleans with a higher win percentage in common matches.
