Buccaneers aim to reclaim NFC South title from Saints

Summary

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are focused on recapturing the NFC South crown in 2026 after injuries hindered their performance last season. Starting the previous year with a strong 6-2 record, the Buccaneers suffered a drop-off, finishing 2-7. They now bring in new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson to revitalize quarterback Baker Mayfield, aiming to bolster their offensive output. The Panthers won the division last year, and the Buccaneers see an opportunity with the Saints in a rebuilding phase and other rivals also facing question marks at quarterback. Healthier and with a revamped roster, Tampa Bay is determined to regain its position atop the NFC South.
