It's a day after Christmas but the feasting will continue — in football form.
The NFL has a Boxing Day triple-header on tap, with playoff implications in all three matchups.
The day starts with Buccaneers vs. Lions, with the Bucs a win away from their first postseason berth since 2007. The Buccaneers will look to avoid another slow start, which has seen them trail by 17 points or more four times this season, according to ESPN.
“We know how talented we are as a team. It’s just for whatever reason, we shoot ourselves in the foot and we can’t string together 60 minutes,” Bucs tight end Cam Brate said. “You can win against teams that aren’t going to make the playoffs right now, but I don’t think we will win too many playoff games spotting a team 17 points. It’s going to be something we’re going to have to figure out.”
That's followed by an all-NFC West clash as the 49ers visit the Cardinals, with the already-eliminated Niners looking to play spoilers against their division rivals. It's a visit in name only, as the 49ers have called Arizona home for several weeks as local COVID-19 restrictions have kept them from playing or practicing in the Bay Area.
The move coincided with the start of a three-game losing streak that eliminated San Francisco from the playoffs, but linebacker Fred Warner isn't convinced that the team's temporary digs were a detriment.
"I can’t answer that if it is or if it isn’t," Warner said. "I can speak for myself and say I don’t care about what the situation is because I know it’s going to end at some point. I know we’re not going to have to stay in Arizona for our entire life. We had a designated time period to be in Arizona. Then the season is going to end, and we go back home. We needed to take care of business while we were in Arizona."
In Saturday's primetime matchup, the Raiders host the Dolphins in a matchup featuring two teams on the playoff bubble in the AFC. Miami coach Brian Flores didn't mince words when speaking of the importance of the game.
“I don’t have a problem with people talking about whatever they want to talk about, but our playoffs are this week against the Raiders," Flores said. "That’s my – let’s call it the playoffs, this week against the Raiders. Let’s call it that. It’s one game at a time. That’s kind of where my focus is.”
With so much at stake, Saturday's games will feel like anything but a holiday for the teams involved. Here's everything you need to know about the broadcasts.
