Despite finishing the year one game under .500, Tom Brady and the 8-9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are division champions of the lackluster NFC South. And with a division title comes the right to host a first-round playoff game. The Bucs will face the 12-5 Dallas Cowboys, who finished two games behind the NFC-leading Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East and enter the playoffs as the conference’s fifth seed and top Wild Card team. Kickoff in Tampa Bay is set for Monday at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT) on ESPN and ESPN Plus.
