In this story:

It wasn't the prettiest win of the season, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 26-23 victory over the Carolina Panthers counts all the same and was absolutely critical to the team's playoff hopes this season.

With the Atlanta Falcons' loss in Week 13, the Buccaneers now have a matching 6-6 record with their division rival, though that opponent owns the head-to-head tie-breaker.

Tampa Bay has many reasons to look back on for why it was able to come away with this past weekend's victory. One of them, running back Bucky Irving, is now up for an NFL Award for his contributions.
