Fresh off of their bye week and looking to win for the first time since Nov. 15, the Buccaneers return to Raymond James Stadium on Sunday afternoon for a massive game against the Vikings.

This Week 14 matchup has serious playoff implications, as Tampa Bay currently holds the No. 6 seed in the NFC with a 7-5 record while Minnesota has the No. 7 seed at 6-6. Not only would a win give the Bucs some separation from the Vikings but it would also help their conference record, which is a key tiebreaker that may come into play some time down the line. Plus, heading into the bye, Bruce Arians’ team lost back-to-back games for the first time this season, so the group will certainly be looking to right the ship as it starts the season’s final quarter.

This game’s impact on the NFC playoff picture as well as the Bucs’ need to get back on track will obviously take precedence come Sunday. But at the same time, there are some individuals on Tampa Bay’s roster who can keep working their way toward franchise and league history when they take the field against the Vikings. With that in mind, let’s see where things stand heading into Week 14.
