The tornado of the NFC South will reach its apex this weekend as the Carolina Panthers take on division rival Tampa Bay at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium. With the Panthers currently on top of the NFC South, the Buccaneers are out for blood. Will they get their revenge? Going into Week 6, it’s Carolina that’s the dominant team, and the Bucs will have to be absolutely on top of their game to rival these tough cats.
The Panthers have won eight of their last 10 games against Tampa Bay, coming out on top for five consecutive visits to the Raymond James Stadium. With most of the team healthy, Jake Delhomme and his right-hand men Steve Smith and Muhsin Muhammad will lead the Panthers into a tough match, and linemen Jordan Gross and Jeff Otah may even play on Sunday, as well. This all spells trouble for the Buccaneers, who have been juggling a number of quarterbacks this season that started with Jeff Garcia and has flip-flopped back and forth to Brian Griese. This instability could be seen as a weak spot to the Panthers, who are looking for a way into the end zone. Stay tuned for the most important NFC South matchup of the season.
