"The Buccaneers couldn't contain the Patriots explosive rookies and lost coming off their bye week. Tampa Bay got behind early and didn't have enough time to catch up. Baker Mayfield said post-game that the team lacked a "killer instinct," a harsh critique after a loss to a very good team, but it shows what kind of standard the Buccaneers have set in their locker room. Lucky for the Buccaneers, they're still the favorite to win the division."
"The Saints pulled off the upset, taking down the hype machine known as the Carolina Panthers. Tyler Shough looked like the best quarterback on the field, Alvin Kamara had a vintage 100+ scrimmage yard performance, and Chris Olave topped 100 receiving yards for the first time since Week 7 2024. Most shocking was the Saints putrid defense shutting down the Panthers run game."
The NFC South went 1-3 last weekend and has cooled off after a strong start. The Buccaneers fell to the Patriots after the bye, unable to contain explosive rookies and falling behind early; Baker Mayfield criticized the team for lacking a "killer instinct," yet Tampa Bay remains division favorite and now faces the Bills. The Saints upset the Panthers as Tyler Shough outplayed Bryce Young, Alvin Kamara produced over 100 scrimmage yards, and Chris Olave topped 100 receiving yards; Saints defense shut down Carolina's run game. The Panthers' loss deflated national hype and widened the divisional gap ahead of their game with Atlanta.
