The Tampa Bay Buccaneers proved past meetings don’t necessarily guarantee future results. Bested by the New Orleans Saints twice during the regular season, the Buccaneers returned the favor in kind on Sunday, beating their NFC South rivals at the Superdome to advance to the NFC Championship Game.

Back in October, the Packers raced out to a 10-0 lead but then watched the Buccaneers score the game’s final 38 points to finish off a blowout defeat in Week 6.
