Carolina widened its NFC South lead to three games with a come-from-behind win over the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was the Bucs who came from behind first, scoring 17 points in the fourth quarter to take a 24-20 lead over the Panthers.

With 1:06 left on the clock, Panthers’ QB Jake Delhomme led Carolina on 78-yard drive, capped by a 5-yard TD pass to wide receiver Steve Smith. Tailback Stephen Davis sat out the game with an ankle injury, so DeShaun Foster took over the running back duties. He rushed for 56 yards on 22 carries. Delhomme was 20-of-32 for 277 yards and two touchdowns.

Steve Spurrier Says:

“Hopefully we can build on the win against Seattle and still improve our play. Offensively and defensively, we need to play our assignments a lot better. If we do those things, we have a chance to turn this thing around.”
