The Carolina Panthers topped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 38-22 in a pivotal Week 17 matchup of the 2028 season. With playoff implications hanging in the balance, the Panthers secured their spot by delivering a strong performance on both sides of the ball.
Terrence Young of the Buccaneers stood out in the passing game, throwing for 307 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his ability to move the chains despite the loss. On the ground, Bhayshul Tuten led the Panthers with 51 rushing yards, while DeVonta Smith recorded 110 receiving yards for Tampa Bay, providing a spark in their offense.
Defensively, Arvell Reese made a significant impact for Carolina, recording two sacks that disrupted Tampa Bay's rhythm. The game's turning point came in the third quarter when the Panthers' defense forced a critical turnover, allowing them to extend their lead and ultimately seal the victory. Avieon Terrell's seven tackles and interception for the Buccaneers showed promise, but it wasn't enough to turn the tide against a resilient Panthers squad.
