It started off with the makings of a blowout then all of a sudden it seemed as though the Buccaneers’ fans were going to collectively chew their nails completely off. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were able to defeat the Carolina Panthers 31-17 but not without a little drama, the makings of a big comeback, and a timely run by one of the new guys.
The Bucs went up 21-0 in the blink of an eye, but the Panthers had other plans, mounting a second half comeback that got them within a touchdown twice in the fourth quarter.
