TEAM STATS
- The Panthers held the Buccaneers to a three-and-out on their opening drive, completing a season-long streak of not allowing a touchdown on an opponents' first possession. The last time a team did that for an entire season was the 2016 Steelers.
- Carolina finished the season with a plus-52 scoring margin in the first quarter, its highest since stats were made available in 2000.
- Tampa Bay threw for 324 net yards, the second-most allowed by Carolina this season. The Panthers ended the season allowing just 192.1 pass yards per game, their fewest since 2009.
- The Panthers went for it on fourth down six times Sunday, but converted just twice. They attempted the second-most fourth downs in the NFL over the last four games (13) but converted only three.
- Carolina lost the turnover battle 2-0 and ended the season with a minus-13 turnover margin (t-29th).
