NFC Notes: Buccaneers, Panthers, Saints

Buccaneers

Bucs HC Todd Bowles reminded his team that their postseason goals are still within reach.

“You always remind them, but you correct them first,” Bowles said, via PFT. “You correct the film and you go over the tape and you’re still pissed off and disappointed, regardless of what’s in front of you. You let it go the next day once you watch the tape and you move on. Everything is still in front of us — we’re trying to win the division, we need to take care of ourselves. We don’t need to look at anybody else. We know what we have to do.”

Panthers
