The Carolina Panthers got beat handily on the scoreboard, but they actually kept pace with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers pretty well from a statistical perspective. The Panthers outgained the Bucs 427 yards to 339 and averaged 6.0 yards per play to the Bucs’ 5.9, but they were befallen by four turnovers in high leverage situations.
The four turnovers is probably the most obvious and important stat from the loss, but we’re going to dig for some notable numbers that might be less obvious.
