Breathe in, breathe out. Repeat. All is not lost this year. The Buccaneers and Panthers sent their “B-teams” on the field Monday night as the Bucs steal one in Charlotte to remain unbeaten in the NFC South.

It was ugly. Very, very ugly. Yet, somehow the Buccaneers found a way to squeak out a win in Charlotte for the first time since 2012, coincidentally the last time they beat the Panthers.

Let’s pick six, shall we?
