Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay, which opens at home on Sunday against the Washington Commanders, will be looking win the NFC South for the fourth straight year.

Kiffin spent 13 seasons as Bucs defensive coordinator from 1996 to 2008 under Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden and was inducted into the team's Ring of Honor in 2021.

His latest venture is Dignitary Kava House, an alcohol-free hangout spot in South Tampa.

The Bucs lost guard Aaron Stinnie in free agency, and Robert Hainsey has filled for an injured Ryan Jensen at center the past two seasons.

The quarterback said retaining him and other key players set to become free agents would require “some sacrifices.”

The longtime "Voice of the Seminoles" will be part of the hall's first class, which also includes Rush Limbaugh and seven others. The induction is set for June in Palm Beach.

Canales, 42, has spent only one season as an NFL coordinator. He helped the Bucs reach the NFC divisional playoffs with Baker Mayfield at quarterback.

Baker Mayfield threw three TD passes for Tampa Bay (10-9), including a 16-yard toss to Mike Evans that got the Bucs within one score with 4:37 left. But Mayfield threw his second interception of the day a short time later, sealing the win for the Lions.

Fans can gather Sunday at the Tampa Convention Center to cheer on the Bucs and Lightning.

The Bucs won for the sixth time in their last seven games in their NFC wild-card victory over the reeling Eagles, who went 1-6 to end their season after starting off 10-1.

Tampa Bay (9-8) earned its third straight division title and will host the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round next Monday night at 8.

Sunday’s 23-13 loss to New Orleans wasn’t the only source of pain for Bucs QB Baker Mayfield, who took a hard hit to the ribs late in the game. X-rays were negative, and Mayfield expects to play in next week's regular-season finale at Carolina.
