The fairy tale triumph that swallowed Tom Brady & Co.
The Panthers had to face a number of blows in the days leading up to their clash with the Buccaneers. It started with head coach Matt Rhule’s expulsion after their loss to the 49ers. Next, the Panthers traded two of their most productive players this season.
Without franchise face, Robbie Anderson and running back Christian McCaffrey, they were at the bottom of their confidence (1-5 till week 6). Nothing went the Panthers’ way in those two weeks. Though, motivated by their hometown kid interim coach Steve Wilks, the Panthers managed to display their true caliber when they faced Tom Brady and his side.

Mayfield had always been the Panthers’ top offensive option. Walker was previously the fourth alternative at the center. However, sometimes a single win can create a big impact on the lives of many.

While Tom Brady prepares for the match, losing what may ruin his career even further.
