Good news, NFL fans — today will feature more than 12 straight hours of football. Yes, this week features an early morning kickoff from London, the second straight week with a game taking place across the pond.
Last week, the Oakland Raiders did much of the NFC North a solid, upsetting the Chicago Bears 24-21 in London. This week, the contest pits NFC South rivals against one another as the 3-2 Panthers and 2-3 Buccaneers square off. Both teams have shown reasons for optimism, and this could end up being an unusually good matchup.
