Baker Mayfield sent a crystal clear message to Bucs after Panthers upset win over Rams

While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers got things back on track with a win over the Cardinals on Sunday, they failed to get some breathing room in the NFC South.

That's thanks to the Carolina Panthers notching another upset win over a playoff contender. In perhaps the signature win of Dave Canales' tenure as head coach, the Panthers upset the Rams in a win that shakes up the entire NFC playoff picture and keeps Carolina hot on Tampa Bay's heels.

Only a half-game separates the two teams, although that will likely grow to a full game with the Panthers on a bye next week.
