The 2022 NFL Playoffs are closer than ever, and it’s likely that at least one NFC South team will make it to the postseason, likely the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

So far only three teams were eliminated from postseason contention and none of them belong to the NFC South, that can be considered as good news.

There are still three regular season weeks left, but it’s unlikely more than one NFC South team will make the playoffs and that’s directly tied to their current record.
