For about the fifth time this season, it was a tale of two halves for the Bucs.
They lost another tough on the road this week, this time to the Carolina Panthers. Tampa Bay is now 3-5 on the season with a (1-2) record in division play and a (2-3) record in conference play.
The defense couldn’t stop anyone in the first half and left the offense in a giant hole before finally putting together a respectable second half. But by then it was too little, too late.
A play fake on first down saw Ryan Fitzpatrick attempting a deep pass to Mike Evans on the left sideline.
