A week after the offense looked so good in Buffalo, they struggled all game at home against the Panthers and
hence the Buccaneers fell to their fourth straight defeat. On only one play did they move into the redzone and
three turnovers proved too much to overcome. The defense kept Carolina in check most of the day but one
long first half scoring drive and a short field following a turnover saw the two Panther touchdowns recorded.
