Carolina Panthers one back in tight NFC South entering Week 10
Week 9: Carolina Panthers 42, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28
Carolina pounced on the Buccaneers early in the first half by scoring touchdowns on five consecutive possessions. Fitzpatrick and the Buccaneers attempted to rally for a second straight week but their comeback efforts fell short in the second half.
Week 10: at Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2-1), 8:20pm*
Facing a short week, both teams were in action on Sunday and each hopes to continue their current momentum. The Carolina defense has played well recently but will be tested by a Steelers offense hitting on all cylinders at the moment.
