Carolina Panther’s 24-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday was ugly. Despite 444 yards of offense, nothing seemed to click for the Panthers in their fourth straight loss. Cam Newton was picked off a whopping four times. The offensive line did little to stop the Buccaneers defense from being in Newton’s face and the lack of protection resulted in four sacks. Third-down conversions were another area of struggle for the Panthers, who didn’t convert their first third down until the third quarter.
On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns had their own struggles.
