For the third time in their history, the Bucs shutout out an opponent in
the final game of the season to clinch a division title repeating the
events of 1979 and 2002. This was not pretty and the Panthers cost
themselves two touchdowns with mistakes. Baker Mayfield played
hurt and led the Bucs to three fieldgoals which was all they needed on
the day to make the playoffs for a fourth straight season.
