Buccaneers vs. Eagles Wild Card Preview
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a reasonably successful season, slightly improving from their 2022 campaign. They secured the top spot in the NFC South Division for the third year in a row, concluding the regular season with a record of 9-8.
In contrast, the Philadelphia Eagles faced challenges approaching the finish line. The team was in excellent form in late November, boasting a 10-1 record and holding the best standing in the entire NFL.
It seemed they were dominating their way to the top of the conference and division. However, the Eagles experienced a setback, losing five of their last six games to end the campaign.
This unexpected downturn marked a significant collapse, and they ultimately finished second in the NFC East Division, trailing their arch-rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. Instead of going straight to the Divisional Round, they must play a road Wild Card game to advance.
The two teams have already faced each other earlier this season in Week 3, with the Eagles dominating the Buccaneers with a score of 25-11 on September 25.
