Through 2 Quarters

The Carolina Panthers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are all tied up at 17. Carolina actually trail Tampa Bay in yards, but only by 70.

The Panthers have been relying on QB Teddy Bridgewater, who has passed for two TDs and 111 yards on 17 attempts, and WR D.J. Moore, who has caught two passes for one TD and 62 yards. Moore’s performance is making up for a slower game against the Kansas City Chiefs last week.

Carolina and Tampa Bay both experienced trouble in their last games, but one is bound to make up for it today. Either team could still leave here with a redeeming win, so expect a scrappy second half.

What to Know

The Carolina Panthers are home Sunday, but with the point spread against them by 6 points, it might not be quite the welcoming they would prefer. Carolina and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face off in an NFC South battle at 1 p.m. ET at Bank of America Stadium. The Panthers stagger in eager to bring about an end to their four-game losing streak.

Carolina was first on the board but had to settle for second at the end of their matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs last week. Carolina fell in a 33-31 heartbreaker. The defeat was just more heartbreak for them, who fell 20-17 when the teams previously met in November of 2016. Despite the loss, Carolina had strong showings from RB Christian McCaffrey, who punched in one rushing touchdown in addition to catching ten passes for one TD and 82 yards, and QB Teddy Bridgewater, who passed for two TDs and 310 yards on 49 attempts in addition to punching in one rushing touchdown. Bridgewater ended up with a passer rating of 140.10.

Meanwhile, Tampa Bay entered their contest against the New Orleans Saints last week without any home losses — but there’s a first time for everything. The Buccaneers were completely outmatched by New Orleans at home and fell 38-3. Tampa Bay was down 31 to nothing at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. One thing working slightly against Tampa Bay was the run-of-the-mill game of their most targeted running back, RB Ronald Jones, who rushed for nine yards on three carries.

Carolina is now 3-6 while Tampa Bay sits at a mirror-image 6-3. Two defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Panthers are fifth worst in the NFL in rushing touchdowns allowed, with 12 on the season. To make matters even worse for Carolina, Tampa Bay comes into the game boasting the fewest rushing yards allowed per game per game in the league at 77.9.
