The NFC South battle went down to the wire as the Buccaneers produced a fourth-quarter comeback against the New Orleans Saints to take the division ahead of the Atlanta Falcons.

 

The Falcons had been in pole position as they led the Carolina Panthers at half-time, but the Bucs winning ended their hopes – and they went on to lose in overtime.

Quarterback Baker Mayfield led the Bucs to a fourth straight title with a typically all-action display with his arm and his legs as they clinched the third seed.

 

In the play-offs Tampa Bay will host the Washington Commanders, who beat the Dallas Cowboys 23-19 thanks to a Terry McLaurin touchdown with three seconds left in the game.

The 12-5 Commanders finished as sixth seed ahead of the Green Bay Packers after they lost 24-22 thanks to a last-gasp Chicago Bears field goal.

 

The Packers had won the previous 11 games against their big rivals, but of bigger concern is not only having to travel to the Philadelphia Eagles next week but also the health of star quarterback Jordan Love, who left the game with an arm injury.

Bo Nix became only the second rookie quarterback – after the great John Elway – to lead Denver to the play-offs as they hammered a second-string Chiefs side 38-0.

 

There was no Patrick Mahomes, no Travis Kelce and no real cohesion in a Chiefs team already locked into the top seed, but Nix still put on a clinic as the Broncos ended their eight-year play-off drought.

Denver had started 12 different quarterbacks since Peyton Manning won Super Bowl 50 in 2016 to end his career.

 

Nix could well be lucky number 13.

 

The Chiefs were shut out for the first time since 2012, but Andy Reid opted to give his stars what will be more than three weeks of rest before they hit the play-offs in the second round.

Denver head to the Buffalo Bills for a wildcard tie between the only two teams to beat the defending champions this season – albeit very different Chiefs teams.
