The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have clinched a playoff spot and their only remaining variance is between the fifth and sixth seed in the NFC. Their Week 17 game against a 4-11 Atlanta team will not end up mattering at all in the final seeding if the Los Angeles Rams, whose quarterback has a broken thumb, lose on Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals. Furthermore, Buccaneers Head Coach Bruce Arians says his team isn t particularly concerned about what a win or a loss in Week 17 will mean to its eventual opening-round destination.
But even if Sunday s rematch in Atlanta is potentially lacking in consequence, the Buccaneers are not lacking in motivation. Arians says his team is not going to prioritize resting key players over getting one more victory.
