NFL regular season concluded on Sunday, along with the playoff picture finally being clear. The Denver Broncos clinched a playoff berth with their win over the Kansas City Chiefs, eliminating the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins from playoff contention.

The NFC South race seemed to be over long before Sunday when the Falcons lost in overtime at Washington in Week 17. The Buccaneers were facing the sad-sack Saints, who had lost their previous two games by a combined 59-10 score. Once the Buccaneers won, they'd be on their way to the playoffs.

The Bucs had to rally Sunday to beat the Saints and secure the NFC's last playoff spot. “It all makes you stronger,” Todd Bowles said.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' reign over the NFC South was extended in Week 18, as the team claimed the division crown for the fourth consecutive year.

Despite finishing last in the NFC South, the New Orleans Saints will still pick after the Carolina Panthers due to a strength of schedule tiebreaker:

Mayfield fired a 32-yard touchdown pass to Jalen McMillan for the go-ahead score and then scrambled 28 yards for a crucial first down on the next drive, leading the Buccaneers to a 27-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers clinched the NFC South and the accompanying playoff berth with their comeback win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

For the fifth consecutive season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will enter the NFL postseason, their fourth straight time as champions of the NFC South.

Not only did the Tampa Bay Buccaneers come back and beat the arch rival New Orleans Saints to clinch both another NFC South title and playoff spot, but Mike Evans eclipsed 1,000 yards in a season for the 11th consecutive time.
