Buccaneers Aim to Extend Winning Streak Against Panthers in NFC South Matchup

Tampa Bay looks to capitalize on momentum from last week's victory, while Carolina seeks improvement after a narrow loss to Kansas City.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-6) will face the Carolina Panthers (3-8) on Sunday, Dec. 1, in a divisional clash at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, who has a 3-0 record against his former team, is one touchdown pass away from joining Tom Brady in franchise history for consecutive 25+ TD seasons.
Wide receiver Mike Evans returned from injury last week, boosting Tampa Bay's offense in a dominant 30-7 win over the New York Giants, and is expected to be a key player against Carolina's defense.
The Panthers have shown recent improvement, with quarterback Bryce Young coming off his best performance of the season and running back Chuba Hubbard scoring four rushing touchdowns in the last three games.
Injury concerns include Tampa Bay's left tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee) and Carolina's tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders (neck), who will not play after being hospitalized during last week's game.
