Believe the hype. This wasn’t a smooth season by any means, but the Bucs are have once again clinched the NFC South title. That guarantees them a playoff berth, and they’re facing off against a tough Philidelphia Eagles team at Raymond James Stadium on Monday, January 15.
Tickets to the game are on sale now. Kickoff is officially at 8pm. We hope the whole city shows up decked out in red and/or creamsicle to show Mike Evans, Baker Mayfield, and the entire Bucs squad some love as they look to win another Super Bowl.

“It’s great to win three straight,” said Head Coach Todd Bowles to Bucs’ Senior Writer Scott Smith. “Especially how people counted them out. I’m happy for the fans. I’m happy for the players, the coaches, the management, the scouting department. They worked so hard to get everything done. To hear all they had to hear and to come out winning the division title is outstanding for those guys. I’m very happy for them.”
Bucs QB Baker Mayfield is excited for the opportunity to show what he and this Bucs team can do in the postseason. For Mayfield and crew, it’s time to hit the reset button and get to work.
For the second time in the last three years, the Buccaneers will play host to the Eagles at Raymond James Stadium in the NFC’s Wild Card Round. The Eagles hold a win over the Bucs this season all the way back in Week 3.
