The Tampa Bay Buccaneers haven’t made the playoffs since 2007 but were a favorite underdog team last season. While injuries and a major defensive regression kept them out of the playoffs yet again, they finished the season at a lowly 5-11.
While the Bucs loaded up on defense and added a new feature back in the draft they still have to win games to make the playoffs. Let’s take a look at where sites ranked the team in their newest power rankings.
ESPN: 24
NFL.com: 21
MSN: 23
As you can see there are a lot of power rankings out there but they all have the Bucs in the lower tier of the NFL.
