The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium. The Bucs fell to the Carolina Panthers in Week 16, 23-20, and are now in second place in the NFC South with two games to go. The Dolphins are riding a two-game losing streak and were eliminated from the 2025 playoffs following a 28-15 loss to the Steelers in mid-December in prime-time. The Buccaneers can still clinch a playoff spot if they win out with victories over both Miami and Carolina or the club will have to receive external help.
