The Bucs’ winning stretch hit a speed bump in Charlotte, where the Panthers’ suffocating defense kept its own end zone untouched. The game’s biggest play came on the first snap of the second quarter as Shawn King sacked Trent Dilfer, forced a fumble, recovered the loose ball and returned it 12 yards for a touchdown.
