The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a 7-7 record after coming off a loss against the Atlanta Falcons at home, giving the Carolina Panthers a share of the NFC South lead (somewhat) at 7-7. Tiebreaker rules go to the Bucs, for now, but boy has the window for anymore screw ups really tightened up. And now following a mini bye week this past week, they’ll look to not just improve on their record but start separating themselves from the Panthers.
