The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have done enough to stay in the chase for a postseason spot, but they can't afford a slip-up. The Carolina Panthers will try to knock an opponent out of playoff contention for the second week in a row when they visit the Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon at Tampa, Fla. "We understand where we are," Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said. "It's great to be playing December football. We just have to take care of ourselves and look up at the end and see where we're at." The Buccaneers (8-7) are tied with the Atlanta Falcons atop the NFC South, but even if Tampa Bay wins out, there's no guarantee the team will claim the division because Atlanta owns the tiebreaker after sweeping the season series.
