The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers both now face a nervy wait to find out if they will be in the NFL’s playoffs.
Baker Mayfield and his teammates got the job done on Saturday night, beating the Panthers 16-14 to keep their playoff hopes alive in the race for the NFC South title.

However, if the Falcons manage to beat the Saints instead then the Panthers will progress to the playoffs as NFC South champions at the expense of the Buccaneers.
More to follow.
