TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-7) would need everything short of an act of God to reach the playoffs, with a 31-24 loss Saturday to the New Orleans Saints essentially sealing their fate. But with the Carolina Panthers (6-9) coming to town in their season finale, the Bucs have a chance to finish above .500 for the first time since 2010 and give themselves some momentum heading into the offseason. The last time these two teams faced off was in Week 5, when the Bucs beat the Panthers 17-14 on a game-winning field goal from kicker Roberto Aguayo.
