Tampa Bay Buccaneers' pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul tweeted out Tuesday that he's dealing with the worst injury of his career. In a stretch coming up where the Buccaneers need to get their pass rush situation back on track, what are the implications of JPP's hinderance and what could the long term implications be for the 2022 NFL Season?

With just about everything going right for the Bucs during their week off, we take a look at the NFC playoff landscape as the Buccaneers try to work their way back to the number one seed, securing a first round bye in the 2021 NFL Playoffs. In order to do so, the Bucs have to surpass the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams as well as the Green Bay Packers. With the Cardinals firmly holding onto the top spot and the Rams having the head-to-head tiebreaker, we take a look at the paths of those two NFC West teams and where some of the losses may come from that the Buccaneers need in order to move into the top spot.

Coming off a loss and out of the bye week, the Buccaneers are preparing to take on the Washington Football Team. Evan gives his predictive player of the game, his bold prediction - as well as a bonus prediction - and his score for the week ten matchup between the two, a 2020 NFC Wild Card rematch that sparked the Bucs' Super Bowl LV run.
