The Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Carolina Panthers on Saturday in a winner-takes-all battle for the NFC South title and a playoff spot. With both teams at 7-9 and 8-8 respectively, the outcome will determine the division champion, though Tampa needs a win plus a Falcons loss to clinch. Recent form and statistical edges set the stage for a tense matchup at Raymond James Stadium.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have conducted a virtual interview with Pittsburgh Steelers special teams coordinator Danny Smith for their vacant special teams position. This comes amid significant staff changes for both teams following disappointing seasons. Smith, a veteran coach with nearly 30 years of NFL experience, is seen as one of the league's top special teams minds.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles will return for a fifth season in 2026, following an 8-9 record that ended in the team's first playoff miss under his leadership. Bowles cited three straight division titles as justification for his retention, though changes to his coaching staff are expected. The decision was confirmed after meetings with ownership and staff evaluations.
