Where do the Buccaneers land in ESPN's Week 14 power rankings?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a much-needed win come their way on Sunday in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. From that win, they now have momentum heading into a tough part of their schedule that includes four divisional games in the final five of the season.

Following the win, the Bucs saw their spot in ESPN's Week 14 power rankings fall despite the win. They had been in the 15th spot in the rankings, but now they find themselves in 17th despite the win.

Within the rankings, ESPN's Jenna Laine was asked who is under the x-factor for the team down the final stretch of the season. For the Bucs, she leaned on the most important player on the offense that everyone forgets about outside of Tampa Bay: Bucky Irving.

She writes, "Since entering the league last season, Irving has a missed tackles forced rate of 35.2%, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. That's the best rate among players with 250 or more carries over that span. With quarterback Baker Mayfield dealing with a shoulder injury to his non-throwing arm and Chris Godwin Jr. just now getting healthy, the Bucs have needed Irving to move the chains. And as Mayfield put it, '[Irving] gets a lot of attention whether he's getting the ball or not. The play's never over -- it doesn't have to be blocked up perfect.'"

Irving showcased some exlsiveness in Week 13, and he still has the burst at the line for home run ability. The ability to have that in the Bucs' back pocket cannot be overstated.
