CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Carolina Panthers had the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backed up to the 2-yard line in the third quarter of a three-point game. Outside linebacker Shaq Thompson was confident the Bucs would run a dive play, or "duo run," as Panthers coach Matt Rhule described it.
“Shaq only screamed it to us 30 times while we were in the huddle,” cornerback Rasul Douglas said. “Everyone, all the coaches, everyone on our team knew what play they were running.”
It didn’t matter.
