Losing Tom Brady didn’t loosen the Buccaneers’ hold on the NFC South. Baker Mayfield replaced Brady, revived his career and led Tampa Bay to its third straight division title and a playoff victory last season. Now, another veteran quarterback enters the division along with two new head coaches.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield gets ready for warm ups before an NFL preseason football game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024, in Jacksonville, Fla. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins watches during the first half of a preseason NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024, in Baltimore.

Rookie first-round pick Graham Barton takes over at center on an offensive line that needs to open up running lanes for Rachaad White to help Mayfield. Liam Cohen replaced Canales as offensive coordinator and his main priority is to keep Mayfield producing. Atlanta bolstered its defense during training camp, adding four-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Matthew Judon and two-time Pro Bowl safety Justin Simmons to join second-team All-Pro safety Jessie Bates and star cornerback A.J. Terrell.

Carr got a huge contract last year and has usually put up decent numbers, but he’s 0-1 in the playoffs a decade into his career. He’s under pressure to get the job done.
