Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30, Carolina Panthers 24 (Jan. 1)
Playoffs?! Yes, we’re finally talking playoffs!
Congrats to the Bucs, who escaped a setback at home that would have surely made it extremely difficult to get in. It was a great team effort. I know a thing or two about the playoffs. I actually only know one thing, but that’s all it takes! The year we made it to the playoffs we rolled into them on a six-game losing streak. Fortunately for us, we did enough, in the beginning, to make sure we could win the division, and make it into the playoffs. We started 9-3, and it was looking good. A Monday night with the Carolina Panthers where they managed to do anything they wanted to us that night. It was a long night, but we kept grinding to secure a spot and the playoffs.
