The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are just one win away.
With a victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Bucs are just one win away from clinching in the NFC South. That win can come from either the New Orleans Saints, who lost in Week 16 to the Los Angeles Rams, or the Carolina Panthers, who lost to the Green Bay Packers — Tampa Bay only needs to win one, not both. Should they fail to do that, though, the Atlanta Falcons will be on their tale, as they just secured a victory over the Indianapolis Colts and remain second in the division.
Here is what the NFC South standings currently look like:
| Team | W | L | T | Win% | PF | PA | Home | Away | Strk |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 8 | 7 | 0 | .533 | 326 | 302 | 4-3 | 4-4 | W4 |
| Atlanta Falcons | 7 | 8 | 0 | .467 | 287 | 288 | 5-3 | 2-5 | L1 |
| New Orleans Saints | 7 | 8 | 0 | .467 | 331 | 297 | 4-3 | 3-5 | W1 |
| Carolina Panthers | 2 | 13 | 0 | .133 | 236 | 381 | 2-5 | 0-8 | L1 |
