The 2023 regular season is a wrap for the NFL. And while most teams will be going home and resetting, some — like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — still have some football to play.
The team clinched a playoff berth after defeating the Carolina Panthers 9-0 and winning the NFC South. The game was an outlier game statistically on two opposite ends, with Tampa Bay’s year-end stats getting a big boost on defense from a dominant performance and a big drop off on offense from a unit that wasn’t able to score a touchdown all day. At the year’s end, there are a few promising statistics the Bucs boast, but there are some others that are among the worst in the league.
Here is how the team finished statistically, according to Team Rankings:
