Where do the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rank in Week 17 across Power Rankings?
Brianna Dix
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.
