Panthers help Buccaneers accomplish something no NFL team had since 1958
We have to go back to the Eisenhower administration to quantify how bad the Panthers defense was in Week 7.
In a crushing 43-13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Carolina Panthers faced a devastating blow on Sunday. Quarterback Bryce Young delivered his worst performance of the season, committing three turnovers and succumbing to the Panthers' dreadful offensive line. Their special teams also faltered, with wide receiver David Moore's disastrous punt and an extra point blocked that led to a two-point return for Tampa. However, the Panthers' defensive performance proved to be the most disappointing aspect of the game.
Baker Mayfield and the Bucs managed to achieve the remarkable feat of winning a road game by 30 or more points while limiting their passing yards to 64 or fewer—a feat not accomplished since the Eisenhower administration in 1958. This marked the first time since then that a team won a road game with such limited passing yardage. The Buccaneers have now become the first team in 68 years and the third ever to accomplish this remarkable feat.
