Panthers offense can't catch a break today. Two touchdowns, both taken off the board. And the last one, the next play is a fumble.
— Kassidy Hill (@KassidyGHill) January 7, 2024
And then a sack-fumble on Bryce Young.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
That's number 62 of the first of those, equalling Steve Beuerlein's total in 2000.
Raheem Blackshear touchdown wiped out by penalty.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
Poor Raheem. He didn't deserve that.
A Brian Burns sack forces Bucs to settle for a field goal. Unfortunately for the Panthers, that's been enough for the lead today.
— Kassidy Hill (@KassidyGHill) January 7, 2024
Bucs 9
Panthers 0
Bucs tack on another field goal, lead 9-0 with 10:18 left in this season.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
Panthers offense moving, kickstarted by big Smith-Marsette return and continued with Thielen catch. But stalls after Young takes a 6-yard sack.
— Kassidy Hill (@KassidyGHill) January 7, 2024
Wright's first FG attempt, from 52-yards, is no good.
So Panthers head to the 4Q, scoreless through 7 quarters.
Bryce Young sacked again, that's 61 for the season just before the end of the third quarter.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
He's one short of Steve Beuerlein (62 in 2000) for the franchise record (and fifth-most all-time).

When John Fox took over here in 2002, he went back and watched the film of late 2001 (the 1-15 year) to see who quit and who didn't, because you can tell on tape.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
John Fox would have loved him some Chuba Hubbard, because he's getting after it.
Tommy Tremble is back in the game, so that's good.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
Ladies and gentlemen, Wiener Dog Racing.

I repeat, Wiener Dog Racing.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
Got up and put the seat belt on.
Tommy Tremble (back), return questionable.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
NOW Derrick Brown is at 100 tackles.
— Kassidy Hill (@KassidyGHill) January 7, 2024
And a fight breaks out afterwards.
*new record*
— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) January 7, 2024
💯 tackles for DB pic.twitter.com/HYVKQiCR4w
Bucs get a field goal with 4:13 left in the second quarter, take a 3-0 lead in a defensive struggle.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
And he's now at 100.
— Kassidy Hill (@KassidyGHill) January 7, 2024
They've only counted the stat since 1994, but no D-lineman has ever broke triple digits. https://t.co/uej7MNms4n
As it turns out, Derrick Brown is also good at many other things, besides tackling people. https://t.co/cfOHEhnDb2

History Made ‼️

Derrick Brown in on his third tackle of the day.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
That gets him to 99 for the year, breaking the record for tackles in a season by a defensive lineman (since 1994).
Upon review, Chark fumbled before crossing the line.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
Bucs ball at the 20.
Young to DJ Chark for an apparent 43-yard touchdown.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
Ball came out after/as he crossed the goal line. They're reviewing it.
End of the 1st:
— Kassidy Hill (@KassidyGHill) January 7, 2024
Still scoreless in CLT. Of note, maybe, the Panthers have run 10 plays: 8 rushes, 2 passes (1 completion).
Of those 10 plays, Hubbard has touched the ball 8 times.
Third-down sack by Yetur Gross-Matos. That's a career-high 4.5 for him.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
If not for the five games he missed on IR, he'd have been positioned well for free agency.

There's number 2. He tied the record.#DBTW

Feel like I need to see Sam Franklin instigate a fight on a punt to complete Panthers Special Teams 2023 Bingo.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
I mean, Hekker's already headbutted a dude.
It's early yet, but lots of fast/aggressive play from Panthers secondary today. Other than two throws to start the game, held Evans in check.
— Kassidy Hill (@KassidyGHill) January 7, 2024
Three PBU's on two drives, from three different guys (Horn, Jones, Woods).
Couple of PBU's could've been picks so have to finish those.
Nick Thurman with a nice run stop.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
There's some young depth in places on defense with cats like Thurman, LaBryan Ray, Dicaprio Bootle, D'Shawn Jamison, Alex Cook, that they've played out of necessity this year who could be useful later.
It's the little things.
Bryce Young sacked on third down. That's 60 on the season.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 7, 2024
Did we mention they've played seven different left guards and eight different right guards this season?
It’s Play 60 Day!

One away from tying the record.
