Only three NFL teams have been to the playoffs each of the past five seasons.
The Chiefs, the Bills, and the Bucs are part of this elite company despite the talk about the weakness of their division.
The Bucs have had success in the postseason, going 6-3 since 2021 and winning at least one playoff game in three of the past four years. Last year, Baker Mayfield and the Bucs routed the Eagles 32-9 in a wild-card game and almost upset the Lions in the division round.
Tonight, the Bucs (10-7) will face the Washington Commanders (12-5) in an NFC wild-card game at Raymond James Stadium.
The Bucs have won six of their last seven games and clinched their fourth straight NFC South championship with a 27-19 victory over the Saints last weekend.
Bucs-Commanders could be a prime-time shootout
Todd Bowles wants to avoid a high-scoring shootout in the wild-card game, while Baker Mayfield is ready for the challenge.
The matchup between the Bucs and the Commanders features two of the NFL’s top-five scoring offenses and promises to be an exciting game.
