Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-3) hit the road to face the Carolina Panthers (1-5) in an NFC South showdown. The Buccaneers are coming off a disappointing 20-18 road loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, while the Panthers were eliminated by the Los Angeles Rams 24-10.

What you need to know about Buccaneers
Tampa Bay lost a heartbreak to the Pittsburgh Steelers when they met in September 2018, and they came away with a heavy heart last Sunday. Tampa Bay fell just short of Pittsburgh by a score of 20-18. No one had a standout game offensively for the Buccaneers, but they got a touchdown from RB Leonard Fournette. QB Tom Brady ended up with a passer rating of 121.8.
The Buccaneers have struggled a lot on the offensive side of the ball this year. Tampa Bay’s rushing offense is producing a league-worst 67.5 yards per game, which has put a lot of unnecessary pressure on Brady and the team’s offensive line.
What you need to know about the Panthers
The Panthers battled hard for four halves, but were simply passed by the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams in their 24-10 Week 6 loss. XFL, PJ Walker, started for Carolina with Sam Darnold on injured reserve and Baker Mayfield struggling with an ankle injury. Walker was forced out of the game against the Rams with a neck injury but is expected to be available against the Buccaneers in Week 7.
The Panthers are clearly heading towards a rebuilding project, and that became even clearer when they traded McCaffrey. D’Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard are expected to part ways in the future.
