The Tampa Bay Buccaneers finished their game of Connect Four on Sunday.
The team beat the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday to get their fourth straight win and move to 8-7 on the year, the first time they’ve had a winning record since Week 6. The Bucs are now atop the NFC South and have a chance to win it in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints, as a victory would ensure they clinch the division and a playoff berth.
The Bucs have done particularly well in the past few weeks, and as a result, a lot of their statistical rankings are improving at the end of the year. Here’s how the Bucs stack up against the rest of the league, per Team Rankings:
