Surging with upset win.
The Bucs have a battle on their hands in the NFC South.
The Panthers, aka the Fighting Canaleses, knocked off Green Bay 16-13 today with a field goal as time ran out to up their record to 5-4. Carolina hosts floundering New Orleans next week.
Meanwhile in Massachusetts, today the Falcons lost 24-23 to New England (7-2), next Sunday’s Bucs opponent.
Tampa Bay sits at 6-2 and, of course, wants to keep plenty of separation from the Panthers. The Bucs play Carolina in Weeks 16 and 18 to close the regular season.
On the upside, New England looked very beatable. Atlanta moved the ball and sacked Patriots quarterback Drake Maye six times, with rookie first-round pick Jalon Walker recording two.
