For a while it looked like it would not happen but in the final seconds of the Tampa Bay’ 27-19 win over the New Orleans Saints – not only did the Buccaneers clinch playoff berth but NFL history was made.

They were also part of NFL history, with star wide receiver Mike Evans clearing 1,000 receiving yards on the season, extending his record for consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to start a career, and joining Hall of Famer Jerry Rice as the only players to ever achieve that feat in 11 straight years.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have four potential playoff opponents in the Washington Commanders, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions. But where do they stack up against one another?

With the Bucs clinching a playoff spot, fans are fired up as they look ahead to the next steps in their postseason journey.
