After playing about as well as could be hoped against the Chiefs, the Panthers really struggled against the division rival Buccaneers. The team was without star running back Christian McCaffrey, and Teddy Bridgewater got banged up during the game. Things have been rough for the Panthers of late, especially on the defensive side of the ball. How did ESPN react to the thrashing at the hands of the Bucs?
20. Carolina Panthers (3-7)
Week 10 ranking: 18
What would they take back: Fourth-and-1 to Alex Armah in the opener
The Panthers have arguably the best all-purpose back in the NFL in Christian McCaffrey and a chance to win Matt Rhule’s opener at home.
