"The Buccaneers have lost three in a row after going through a mini-gauntlet that included the Patriots, Bills, and Rams. Early-season hype has died down, and this team looks good by NFC South standards, but that's a low bar. Todd Bowles' defense has been getting shredded, but you also have to live and die with the volatility that comes with Baker Mayfield."
"This is not a good football team, just look at how competent they made the Falcons appear. The kicker got the yips, Alvin Kamara left the game early, and the defense just isn't talented enough to compete without any support from the offense. Tyler Shough quarterback play can be described as chaotic. The Saints are going to give him the rest of the season to prove himself, but he's looking like a project that isn't worth their time."
"Bryce Young didn't play the Falcons this week, which means he went back to being a below-average quarterback. The Panthers had the perfect opportunity to take control of this division, Brock Purdy gave them multiple chances, but Carolina sputtered on offense. They're still second in the division, but this was a game that playoff-caliber teams win, but the Panthers look like pretenders. They'll have to go up against a Rams team that just obliterated the Buccaneers."
The NFC South displayed uneven, often poor performance across multiple teams, with only one divisional winner for the third straight week. Tampa Bay has lost three straight, suffering defensive breakdowns and quarterback volatility, and may start Teddy Bridgewater after Baker Mayfield’s struggles. New Orleans struggled offensively and defensively, with special teams errors and chaotic Tyler Shough quarterback play that casts doubt on long-term plans. Carolina missed a chance to seize control of the division, sputtering on offense despite opportunities and now faces a dominant Rams team. The division overall appears weak and inconsistent heading into Week 13.
