TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are gearing up for a much different Carolina Panthers offense this week with quarterback Kyle Allen than the one they met in Week 2 under Cam Newton. The Bucs won the first meeting 20-14, but the Panthers' offensive production has exploded recently, topping 400 yards in two of the past three games.
With Newton dealing with a foot injury and recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, he managed to complete just 56.2 percent of his passes in Weeks 1-2 and struggled with the deep ball, going just 3-for-9 on passes of 20 or more yards against the Bucs.
