NFL power rankings: Where do the Bucs land coming out of the bye week?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming out of their bye week riding back-to-back victories, hoping to keep that momentum going as they enter the homestretch of the 2022 regular season.
After a last-second win over the Los Angeles Rams, the Bucs staved off a late comeback by the Seattle Seahawks in Germany, holding on for a 21-16 victory over a team that had won four straight games.
Now, the Bucs look ahead to a road trip to face the Cleveland Browns, who currently own a 3-7 record, and are tied for last place in the AFC North.
The Bucs are 5-5, still in first place in the NFC South, and control their own destiny for hosting a playoff game.
