They may not get much coverage entering the playoffs, but the Buccaneers are certainly the biggest dark horse in the bracket. Considering their experience and how well their quarterback and wide receiver are playing, Tampa Bay is the last team any of the elite squads want to be playing in the playoffs.

Doug Pederson, whose offense scored 41 points against the greatest coach in football history while having a backup quarterback out there in Super Bowl LII, was fired by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday. Pederson, who went 4-2 in the postseason with the Eagles during his five years in Philadelphia, lasted just three seasons with the Jags.

The Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers captured the NFL's final two playoff spots in Week 18. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix led the Broncos to a 38-0 victory over Kansas City's backups on Sunday, sending Denver to the postseason for the first time since Peyton Manning helped the team win a Super Bowl nine years ago.
