"The Buccaneers practically gave the game away to the Falcons. After being up by 14, they allowed Atlanta to crawl back while missing every opportunity they had to close the game. Even after giving up two touchdowns, Raheem Morris's decision to go for two with 10 minutes left and avoid playing for a tie/OT meant the Bucs didn't even have to score on their final drive, but it didn't matter."
"The Saints have won back-to-back games for the first time this season, and both victories came against the division's top teams. The Panthers had everything to lose but couldn't hold off this scrappy team. Tyler Shough doesn't play the prettiest brand of football, but the young (at heart) quarterback has been making improvements every week, and that has to give the Saints brass hope that with a better cast in 2026, he could prove to be their quarterback of the future."
The NFC South standings are unusually chaotic, with the team holding the best division record currently in last place and the leader committing a highly embarrassing collapse. The Buccaneers have lost two straight and practically surrendered the Week 15 game to the Falcons after leading by 14, including Raheem Morris's decision to go for two late instead of playing for a tie. Tampa Bay still controls the division and faces Carolina twice in the final three weeks. The Saints have earned back-to-back wins for the first time this season, with Tyler Shough showing steady improvement and potential as a future starter. The Panthers won on Thursday but failed to fully take care of business on their own end.
