It's been a long time since the Carolina Panthers were involved in a game of this magnitude. Head coach Dave Canales' squad welcomed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to Bank of America Stadium for a crunch NFC South championship showdown, and they delivered a rousing effort to regain their advantage at the division summit.
This was a tense affair throughout. Both clubs looked evenly matched, so it came down to a few crucial moments. Thankfully, the Panthers held their nerve in the game's closing stages, and Canales' squad is now just one win away from booking their first playoff berth since 2017.
