Buccaneers vs. Panthers preview

The first matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Carolina Panthers is bound to be must-see television, with the two battling it out to try to give them an upper hand in winning the division and making the playoffs.

There are plenty of storylines with Baker Mayfield returning to the team that once had him playing scout team edge rusher and former Bucs' offensive coordinator Dave Canales, who is now the head coach in Carolina.

The Buccaneers enter this one fully healthy, but will need to come together as a team if they hope to come away with a much-needed victory. There has been much to make of what is happening in the Bucs' locker room, but things have apparently been hashed out as the team gears up for one of the most important stretches of the season.

The Panthers are coming off a brutal loss of their own to the New Orleans Saints and will be fighting a similar battle that the Bucs will. We know the Panthers' defense will show up. Will the Panthers' offense, led by Bryce Young and a strong running game, come out and perform at a high level against a Bucs' defense that is susceptible, or will they fall flat and allow the Bucs to have one of their better days?
