Halfway through the season, Tampa Bay is looking like a legit postseason contender.
Sitting at 6-2 and at the top of the NFC South, the Buccaneers are in fairly good standing. Though their division is not the most competitive, Tampa Bay has put up solid performances week after week — their only losses coming at the hands of Philadelphia and Detroit.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances or pivotal injuries, the Bucs are on a trajectory towards the playoffs. After a week of rest, they will head into a slew of tough matchups against the Rams, Patriots and Bills.
