Despite a heartbreaking 16-14 loss in the Tampa rain, the Carolina Panthers are officially headed to the playoffs! In this video, we break down a gritty defensive battle where Bryce Young and the offense struggled to find a rhythm until a late 4th-quarter surge. We’ll discuss Tetairoa McMillan’s record-breaking day, the botched flea-flicker that shifted momentum, and how the Atlanta Falcons' victory over the Saints ultimately handed the NFC South crown to Carolina.

The Panthers finish the season at 8-9, but a division title means a Home Playoff Game is coming to Bank of America Stadium! We're diving into the highlights, the tiebreaker scenarios that saved the season, and what this team needs to fix before the Wild Card round.

It all comes down to this! The Carolina Panthers (8-8) head to Raymond James Stadium to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-9) this Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026, at 4:30 PM EST. With the NFC South title and the No. 4 seed on the line, the stakes couldn't be higher for this national broadcast on ABC and ESPN.

In this preview, we break down:

• The Playoff Path: Carolina clinches the division with a win or a tie. If Tampa Bay wins, they must wait for a Saints victory over the Falcons on Sunday to officially secure their fifth straight division crown.

  
  

• Week 16 Rematch: We revisit the first meeting where Carolina secured a 23-20 victory, highlighted by a game-sealing interception from rookie Lathan Ransom following a miscommunication between Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans.

  
  

• The Mayfield vs. Young Matchup: Bryce Young looks to overcome a 4-19 career road record, while a physically compromised Baker Mayfield attempts to lead his team through a four-game losing streak despite shoulder and knee injuries.

• Stat Benchmarking: We look at the data from teamrankings.com, specifically Tampa Bay’s struggling 30th-ranked red-zone defense (68.3% TD rate allowed) against Carolina’s 13th-ranked unit.

  
  

• Injury Updates: Latest on the availability of Pro Bowl tackle Tristan Wirfs and the cleared status of Panthers running back Rico Dowdle.

The Carolina Panthers (8-8) head to Tampa Bay (7-9) for a massive Saturday afternoon showdown with the NFC South title on the line!

The Carolina Panthers’ offense hit a wall in Charlotte today as they fell 27-10 to a dominant Seattle Seahawks defense. What started as a gritty 3-3 defensive battle at the half completely unraveled in the third quarter after back-to-back turnovers gave Sam Darnold and Zach Charbonnet all the help they needed to seal the game. Bryce Young was held to just 54 passing yards, and while he found the end zone with his legs, the 1-of-11 third-down efficiency tells the real story.

In this video, we’re breaking down the turning points, including that deflating Jaycee Horn facemask penalty and the season-ending injury to Ja'Tavion Sanders. We also look ahead to next week’s "win-and-in" scenario against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Is the NFC South still within reach? Let’s talk about it.

Bryce Young recently became the youngest QB in NFL history to record 11 fourth-quarter comebacks, and he’ll need that magic this week as Carolina (8-7) tries to clinch the NFC South.

We dive into the clinching scenarios, the return of Robert Hunt to the offensive line, and how Jaycee Horn plans to shadow Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
