Were there games during that season that resulted in a No Contest / cancelled which affected the playoff seeding giving the Buc's a competitive advantage? That's why teams are seeded as such and playoff home games determined based on their collective accomplishments over the course of an entire football year.
I'm referencing it as it was the Covid season. So you have games being rescheduled all over the place, players not playing, testing positive etc... so clearly you'd have had lots of games affected by 'non-normal' circumstances. This will have in turn resulted in competitive advantages of their own. I'm not sure how much this affected the Bucs schedule/roster specifically, but I don't look back at that season and think of it as less of a Super Bowl crown for them. I know it's not apples to apples in comparison to this scenario.
