Buccaneers Blow Late Lead, Fall 29-28 To Falcons As Playoff Hopes Dwindle - Can The Panthers Win The Division?

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the Buccaneers lost to the Falcons last night.

Last night, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a heartbreaking 29-28 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Tampa Bay had held a 28-14 lead late in the fourth quarter, but Atlanta mounted a furious comeback, scoring 15 unanswered points and sealing the victory with a 43-yard game-winning field goal as time expired. Baker Mayfield threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns but also committed a critical late interception. Mike Evans returned from injury and contributed six catches for 132 yards, though he was temporarily sidelined after a mid-air collision. Despite the early lead and strong performances, the Buccaneers were unable to close out the game, prompting criticism from both fans and coach Todd Bowles. The loss drops Tampa Bay to 7–7, trailing the 7-6 Carolina Panthers in the NFC South and casting doubt on Tampa's playoff chances with just three games remaining. How does Todd Bowles feel? Can the Carolina Panthers win the NFC South division?
