Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have clinched the NFC South for a fourth straight season.

The Bucs locked up a playoff spot on Sunday thanks to a 27-19 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Tampa Bay will finish the season with a 9-7 record that has the team set to enter the playoffs as either the No. 3 or No. 4 seed in the NFC.

The team's final seeding will depend on how the Los Angeles Rams fare on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

For a second straight season, Baker Mayfield has led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the top of the NFC South.

The Bucs head into the playoffs one of just three teams to exceed both 4,000 passing yards and 2,000 rushing yards this season.

Mayfield has racked up 4,500 passing yards and 41 touchdowns in 17 games to help the Buccaneers finish out the regular season as one of the most balanced offenses in the NFL.

Not only is that a career-high passing touchdown total for Mayfield, but it matches the number Tom Brady posted before leading the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl in 2020.

The Bucs are now hoping to go on a similar run behind a career-best season from Mayfield.

He is joined on offense by wideout Mike Evans, who tied Hall of Famer Jerry Rice's record by recording his 11th straight season with 1,000 receiving yards.

Evans' stellar campaign has helped the Bucs' passing game succeed despite losing Chris Godwin to a season-ending ankle injury in October. The Buccaneers are still hoping to get Cade Otton back on the field after the tight end missed three straight games with a knee injury.

Tampa Bay's run game has meanwhile been revitalized by rookie running back Bucky Irving, who is the first Bucs rookie to rush for 1,000 yards since Doug Martin in 2012.

The Bucs' defensive depth will be tested heading into playoffs amid injuries to Antoine Winfield Jr. and Jordan Whitehead.

On a positive note, Tampa Bay's defense has solved some problems that plagued the unit earlier this season, especially regarding limiting rushing attacks. The Bucs' defenders headed into Week 18 having held opponents to fewer than 100 rushing yards in seven straight contests.

Whitehead is on the NFI list after suffering injuries in a car accident, but Winfield and Otton rejoined practice ahead of Week 18. Getting them back in the mix could give the Bucs a boost on both sides of the ball heading into the postseason.
