"The Buccaneers fell victim to another explosive AFC East offense. Josh Allen's six touchdowns were too much for Tampa Bay to overcome. After a hot start that overcame a laundry list of injuries, the Buccaneers have now lost two in a row and opened the door for the Panthers to make a run at the division title. They face the red-hot Rams this week, and if Todd Bowles can't get his team to lock in, things could get ugly quick."
"Carolina was the only winner this week and had the most to gain. Bryce Young had one game over 200 yards passing coming into the division matchup against the Falcons, so of course, he threw for a Panthers franchise record of 448 yards. It was anticipated that Carolina's run game would be the unit that could dominate this matchup, but as he has seemingly always done to the Falcons, Young took the team down with his arm."
"Tyler Shough had a good outing against the Panthers, and Kellen Moore's offense has been effective this season despite the record. This isn't a good team, but they can compete, and they'll be facing a wounded Falcons team for the first time this season. Motivation is rarely needed during Hate Week, but handing the Falcons their 6th consecutive loss is nice bulletin board material."
The NFC South produced another 1-2 week, narrowing the division into what looks like a two-team race for the remainder of the year. Tampa Bay lost 32-44 to Buffalo as Josh Allen accounted for six touchdowns, marking the Buccaneers' second straight loss and creating room for Carolina to advance. The Panthers beat Atlanta 30-27 while Bryce Young threw a franchise-record 448 yards, bringing Carolina level with Tampa Bay and into the playoff hunt. New Orleans used a bye week; Tyler Shough and Kellen Moore's offense have been competitive despite the record. The Saints will face a wounded Falcons in Hate Week.
