FLOWERY BRANCH – Going into Week 11, the Bucs (5-5) hold a one-game lead over the Falcons (4-6) in the NFC South, with seven games to play.
The Saints (3-7) and the Panthers (3-7) are two games back.
The Bucs are on a bye this week and will play next at the Cleveland Browns at 1 p.m. Nov. 27.
At 1 p.m. Sunday, the Panthers play at the Ravens, and the Saints will host the Rams.
The Panthers are set to start Baker Mayfield at quarterback after P.J. Walker suffered a high ankle sprain.
The No. 1 overall pick by the Browns in 2018, Mayfield is set to make his first start since a home loss to the 49ers in Week 5. He went 1-4 as a starter for the Panthers after he was acquired in a trade.
The Saints, who have lost four of their past five games, have elected to stay with Andy Dalton at quarterback.
