Three Carolina Panthers players that need to step up on Sunday

These Panthers need to ball out on Sunday.

It is that time of year. This is the point in the season where the identity of teams have begun to mold and fans have an idea of what a team may look like moving forward. For the Carolina Panthers, they enter a divisional contest on Sunday with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers already having established an identity. They play quickly on offense and play physically on defense. They truly look like a force to be reckoned with.

Having said that, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers do not at the moment. This is what many would call a “trap game.” The Buccaneers have nothing to lose and everything to gain, and you can bet that they will be playing their hearts out looking to upset a superior Panthers team. With that in mind, several players will need to step up on Sunday in order to make sure the upset is avoided. If these players do not perform, we could be in for a long afternoon at Bank of America Stadium.

Without further ado, we take a look at three players that need to step up on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
