The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got the second half of their season started off in a positive way defeating the New York Giants 30-7 just a week ago but they will now have a tougher test on their hands as they head to Charlotte to take on divisional foe the Carolina Panthers.

The two teams are eerily familiar with one another due to former Bucs' offensive coordinator Dave Canales taking the Panthers' head coaching gig this offseason. The Buccaneers need to do everything in their power to come away with a victory in this one as it is increasingly becoming "must-win" for the Bucs on a weekly basis.
