The NFC South race seemed to be over long before Sunday when the Falcons lost in overtime at Washington in Week 17. The Buccaneers were facing the sad-sack Saints, who had lost their previous two games by a combined 59-10 score. Once the Buccaneers won, they'd be on their way to the playoffs.

Baker Mayfield used his legs and arm to help the Tampa Bay Buccaneers clinch their fourth straight NFC South title while putting Mike Evans over 1,000 yards receiving.

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.

The Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers captured the NFL's final two playoff spots in Week 18. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix led the Broncos to a 38-0 victory over Kansas City's backups on Sunday, sending Denver to the postseason for the first time since Peyton Manning helped the team win a Super Bowl nine years ago.

The NFL’s playoff field is nearly set, but a few key questions remain entering the final few hours of the regular season.
