Carolina has rushed for at least 100 yards in 11 straight games against Tampa Bay, which is the longest active streak by any team against a divisional opponent. Since its win over Tampa Bay, Carolina has lost three in a row. In their most recent loss against Seattle, the Panthers rushed for 220 yards, the most accrued in a loss in franchise history. The Bucs ended a four-game losing streak with a 27-9 victory over San Francisco last week. It was the second game this season in which Tampa Bay did not commit a turnover (also Week 1 at New Orleans). The team has committed an NFL-high 29 turnovers this season, six more than the second-place Jets. Carolina has scored a touchdown on a league-best 95.0 percent (19/20) of its goal-to-go situations. Tampa Bay has allowed a touchdown on 90.0 percent (18/20) of its opponents' goal-to-go situations, which ranks 30th in the league (NFL average -- 73.1 percent). Christian McCaffrey has over 600 yards both rushing and receiving this season along with five touchdowns of both varieties. He is one of four players all-time to reach those thresholds within the first 12 weeks of a season, joining Marshall Faulk (2000), Roger Craig (1985) and Chuck Foreman (1975). Mike Evans eclipsed 1000 receiving yards for the fifth consecutive season, tying A.J. Green for the second-longest streak in NFL history to start a career. Only Randy Moss (6) began his career with more consecutive seasons of 1000+ receiving yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
