Carolina Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers game recap ... (Panthers Wire)

The comeback drive, however, never even got started—as Darnold was stripped by linebacker Anthony Nelson. - That fourth-quarter comeback was also aided by the turnover, something Carolina steered away from heading into this afternoon.

Tom Brady has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers looking dangerous (Sportsnaut)

Tom Brady put up a brilliant performance for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they clinched the NFC South with a win over the Carolina Panthers.

Realistically, the Buccaneers have a ton of holes on both sides of the ball. For the Buccaneers, it now seems like ages since they lost to the San Francisco 49ers by the score of 35-7. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that this has to be of concern for Mike McCarthy’s squad with what we saw from Brady on New Year’s Day. A few minutes later, Brady then found Evans for the hat trick to give Tampa Bay a 24-21 lead. When all was said and done, the Bucs came out on That’s when Tom Terrific started to do his thing by turning back the clock in a big way.

Buccaneers vs. Panthers score, takeaways: Tom Brady-Mike Evans ... (CBSSports.com)

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers clinched the NFC South for the second straight year with their 30-24 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 17.

Another dropped pass from him on third and short in the red zone. Moore is actually one of the best WRs in the NFL. The Panthers travel to New Orleans next week, and will finish out the regular season against the rival Saints (7-9). Down three points with 2:32 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Panthers had a chance to lead a game-winning drive. The Buccaneers recovered the loose ball, and Brady punched in a one-yard score a couple plays later to extend the lead to nine points with under two minutes remaining. Correct, all three touchdowns he scored came on the right sideline, in man coverage and occurred in the same end zone. This Panthers loss came down to the defense. Ultimately, however, 24 points scored historically has been enough to beat the Buccaneers this season. On Sunday, Evans clinched his ninth consecutive season with 1,000 receiving yards, tying Tim Brown for the second-longest streak in NFL history. It was well known that Brady and Evans weren't on the same page for the majority of the year. Then, this team as a whole settled in and delivered the best offensive performance of the season. The Buccaneers haven't looked like legitimate Super Bowl contenders for most of the season, but that changed on Sunday, as Tom Brady and his team exploded for 478 yards of total offense.

They've rarely been good this year, but maybe the Bucs can still be ... (Tampa Bay Times)

John Romano | They are only 8-8, but they have an invitation to the playoffs and they still have Tom Brady and Mike Evans around.

But can they beat the Cowboys or Eagles in the first round of the playoffs on the weekend of Jan. When they are running the hurry-up offense, the Bucs look capable of scoring in a heartbeat. And when they have a healthy defense, they play a pretty good version of bend-but-don’t-break. No, they’re still at the bottom of the NFL after 25 rushes for an average of 2.7 yards each on Sunday. A quarterback who had thrown one touchdown of 30-plus yards all season threw three on Sunday against the Panthers. It’s going to be fun, it’s going to be exciting.” Whether you’re afraid of us or whether you want to take us lightly, we’re going into the playoffs at 0-0. “All we can control is what’s going on in this locker room, and having each other’s back in here. It’s as if, instead of turning the calendar over to 2023, the Bucs have flipped it back to 2021. A defense that forced four turnovers in 10 weeks has suddenly gotten six in the past two games. Or did they just beat a bad team to win a terrible division? If you squint, you can practically see the Super Bowl from here.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 17 Top Performers vs. Carolina ... (Bucs Nation)

Electric outings from several players fueled a division-clinching victory.

At the least, he receives the prestigious Bucs Nation distinction for his efforts. It looked like he would just run out of bounds and limit the damage, but he instead loosed a last-second, rugby-style kick that deftly dropped inside the Carolina 5. To top it all off, Camarda made an excellent normal kick anyways that was downed at the Carolina 8. With less than a minute remaining, the Bucs sat at the Carolina 44, clutching their slim lead, and needed to punt back to the Panthers. Sean Murphy-Bunting had an excellent day of his own, grabbing a highlight interception down at the Bucs 2-yard line to stymie Carolina early in the third quarter. While the snap counts aren’t out yet, a third straight game of playing every snap seems likely and should be commended. Evans’s huge day also put him over 1,000 yards for the year, further extending his NFL record of consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to begin a career (nine). Back-to-back weeks with a game-changing turnover will absolutely get you recognized. He was completely locked in throughout the afternoon, threading the needle and conjuring his patented Brady black magic to ensure a Bucs triumph. And of course, we will give effusive praise to the greatest offensive player in franchise history. And last but not least, we’ll briefly highlight Chris Godwin. As has been the usual, the game was often ugly and featured too many undisciplined mistakes, but clutch time brought the best out in everyone.
