1. The dynamic duo

Who am I referring to? Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson. Adding Jackson to an already powerful offense could help them win the NFC South. Jackson gives the defense another player to worry about and for good reason. Coupling him with Evans could make them the best duo not just in the NFC South, but in the entire NFL.

Between the two of them, they had 34 catches of 20 yards or more and six catches of 40 yards or more. It is no secret that they can stretch the field. Before all teams had to worry about was Evans and his abilities, particularly in one-on-one situations. Now, they have to worry about Jackson.

While Evans is a big-bodied receiver capable of big plays because of an innate ability to win 50-50 balls, Jackson is the ideal complement. He’s the speedster that can burn teams deep, even at his advanced age. The duo will be a matchup nightmare for many teams, particularly the ones in the NFC South.

When you combine all of these factors together, the Buccaneers are clearly a team on the rise with all of the elements necessary to win. Despite a strong division, they have a real chance at winning the NFC South.
