The LA Rams don’t need to win the division next season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn’t win the NFC South in 2020 and while that is not the ideal playoffs road to travel — the top seed in either conference is still the goal for teams — it once again shows that the hottest team in January and February is the team with the greatest advantage in the postseason.
