Buccaneers climb back to .500 and control their own destiny in bid for 3rd straight NFC South title

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — There’s no secret to what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have done to get back into contention for a playoff berth or what they need to do to stay there.

Win, win and win again.

A three-game winning streak has the Bucs (7-7) back at .500 and atop the NFC South standings, along with the New Orleans Saints. Three more wins down the stretch not only will ensure a third consecutive division title, but that they’ll host a playoff game.

“We won three, we have three to go, and we can’t rest,” coach Todd Bowles said.
