Tampa Bay, which is looking to defend its Super Bowl LV title, is in its second playoff appearance with coach Bruce Arians, who is in his third season with the team. The Buccaneers started their season with a 6-3 record before winning seven of their last eight games, including their 41-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday. 

Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady had a terrific regular season at age 44, recording a league-best 5,316 passing yards with 43 touchdowns. He did so while the Buccaneers were without receivers Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown and Scotty Miller at different points due to injury.

Godwin is out for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL, and Brown is no longer with the team after an on-field incident in Week 17. Wide receiver Cyril Grayson Jr., who did not play a single down of college football, has stepped in for Tampa Bay in the midst of those absences. 

Philadelphia is making its first playoff appearance since 2019 in its first season under coach Nick Sirianni. The Eagles won five of their last seven games to close the season after a 4-6 start, including a four-game win streak against the Jets, Washington Football Team (twice) and Giants from Weeks 13 to 17.
