Buccaneers still within striking distance in wide-open NFC South
The Buccaneers are still searching for their first win, but the NFC South remains tightly packed entering Week 4.
As the 2026 NFL season enters its third week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers remain just one game behind the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, and New Orleans Saints in the NFC South. The Bucs are the only team in the division without a win, sitting at 0-3, but their competitors are all 1-2, leaving them in a strong position to make a late-season push for a playoff spot.
The Atlanta Falcons entered Week 4 with momentum after securing their first win of the season against the Green Bay Packers, while the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints continue their winning streaks. With the Bucs facing a tough slate of games in the coming weeks, including a divisional matchup against the Green Bay Packers, their primary focus must be on securing wins to stay competitive in the NFC South.
