ATLANTA, GA (SNN-TV) – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to Atlanta in Week 18 to take on the Falcons in both teams regular-season finale, with the Bucs playing it safe having already clinched the division.
The Buccaneers are in possession of the NFC South title and the fourth seed in the conference playoff field, and there is nothing that can happen in week 18 to change that. However, the Buccaneers do not plan to simply kneel the season out and the Falcons certainly won’t be standing idly by.
Buccaneers Head Coach Todd Bowles made it clear on Monday that he plans to start his regulars, and that Sunday’s game is an opportunity to fine-tune some areas of the team’s execution and to build momentum heading into the playoffs. Tampa Bay is eager to ride a three-game winning streak into the postseason, and to finish the 2022 campaign with a winning record.
Kickoff on Sunday from Mercedes-Benz stadium in Atlanta is set for 1pm.
