Tampa Bay maintained their first win of the NFL season, holding the ultimate drive of Carolina off to maintain.
With time running out involving the Panthers along with the NFC South competitions trailing by six at their home season opener, Carolina was led by Cam Newton in a drill down the field.
They seemed to be heading to get a first win of this year, or at least overtime, as they reached the redzone, but the Buccaneers came up with an overdue goal-line stand to make sure Newton, despite 324 passing yards, was held without a touchdown for the second consecutive week.
Lightning in the region meant the game was delayed for 25 minutes from the first quarter, but the Bucs held to provide new head coach Bruce Arians his first victory since taking charge at the off-season
While Jameis Winston threw for 208 yards as Tampa Bay held Newton in check as it mattered most, the Panthers quarterback came up with a different fumble as he endured an eighth consecutive defeat in 47, peyton Barber ran for 82 yards and a 16-yard touchdown.
The Panthers needed four field goals from Matt Gay, and also a Barber safety, to stand up their 14 points.
Chris Godwin was the safety blanket of Winston, the receiver scored the match’s only touchdown and hauled in eight catches for 121 yards as the Bucs won even though turning only two of 12 first downs.
For Newton it was another night of frustration, culminating at the drive that fell short despite lots of fractures. Afterwards he took a snap from the wildcat formation to carry over on downs on fourth down play from them both, Christian McCaffrey stopped.
The Buccaneers (1-1) got lots of pressure Newton along with three sacks coming from Shaquil Barrett. They also held McCaffrey to 53 total yards from scrimmage after he racked up 209 yards and two touchdowns at the season-opener against the Los Angeles Rams.
Up – Both teams get an extended break the Buccaneers are when they face the New York Giants, when they host the Arizona Cardinals, while Carolina chase their first success.
