Bucs Falling Apart Down the Stretch
(The Bucs lost to the Falcons last night. Photo: Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images)What is going on in Tampa Bay? The Bucs have lost five of their last six games. In the last two weeks, it has been a 24-20 loss to the Saints and a 29-28 loss to the Falcons. These are two teams that are already eliminated from playoff contention.
Now, there is good news. The Bucs have two matchups with the Panthers still on the schedule. December 21 sees the two teams meet in Carolina before the Bucs head to Miami the following week. To close the season, it’s a home game against the Panthers that might decide the division winner.
Baker Mayfield has been up and down this season after throwing 41 touchdown passes a year ago while completing 71.4% of his passes. In 2025, Mayfield has 22 touchdown passes and is completing 61.2% of his passes.
Panthers Challenging for Division
(The Panthers are now on top of the NFC South. Photo: Scott Kinser-Imagn Images)Thanks to the Buccaneers’ loss last night, the Panthers are now on top of the NFC South with a 7-6 record. Bryce Young has made huge strides this year, and Carolina has been able to grind out some important wins this year, including a 31-28 win over the Rams in its last time out. Young had 3 touchdown passes in that victory.
The schedule for Carolina includes a matchup with the Saints this week before taking on the Bucs. On December 28, it’s a tough game against the Seattle Seahawks at home before closing out the year on the road against the Bucs. With three division games, the Panthers can secure a division title. It would be one of the more shocking things in what has been a wild NFL season.
