The Tampa Bay Buccaneers narrowly missed out on stealing a huge divisional road win this past Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. There's no time to worry about what could have been in the NFL, even when your upcoming opponent is reeling like the Carolina Panthers are. Raheem Morris' squad will have a nice opportunity to get back in the win column at home this coming weekend against the Panthers. If they can do just that, the Buccaneers will remain in solid shape in both the NFC South and the NFC Wild Card standings.
Here's your Week 10 game capsule for the Bucs-Panthers matchup.
