The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' reign over the NFC South was extended in Week 18, as the team claimed the division crown for the fourth consecutive year.

The NFC South race seemed to be over long before Sunday when the Falcons lost in overtime at Washington in Week 17. The Buccaneers were facing the sad-sack Saints, who had lost their previous two games by a combined 59-10 score. Once the Buccaneers won, they'd be on their way to the playoffs.
