Carolina Panthers Week 6 keys to victory vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Carolina Panthers head to London to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a second time this season.
A lot has changed for both teams since they faced off in Week 2 of the season. The Carolina Panthers have backup quarterback Kyle Allen leading them to three straight victories, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have dropped two of their last three games but beat the defending NFC champion Los Angeles Rams in Week 4.
Carolina heads into the matchup 3-2 behind only the New Orleans Saints in the division. Tampa Bay sits at 2-3 right behind the Panthers.
The Panthers have simply looked like a different team since Allen took over at quarterback. The defense is back to playing at an elite level and running back Christian McCaffrey is on a possible MVP, record-setting pace. Allen continues to do just enough to keep the Panthers winning games.
The Buccaneers have had a roller coaster start to their season. They consistently score a ton of points but have trouble stopping the oppositions’ offense from scoring more.
The Week 6 matchup is a must watch as second place in the NFC South is on the line in London. Fans will have to get up early because of the 9:35 AM ET start time but it will be well worth it.
If the Panthers can split the season series with the Bucs they will enter the bye week with a record of 4-2. This will put them well within playoff contention with a chance to get rested up for the second half of the year.
Read on to see what Cat Crave believes to be the three keys to a Panthers victory this week.
