Panthers vs. Buccaneers Week 18 Highlights: Tampa Moves Closer to NFC South Title

Is a five-peat in store for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or will the Carolina Panthers have something to say when it's all said and done?

On Saturday, it was Baker Mayfield's Bucs (8-9) who emerged victorious over Bryce Young and the rising Panthers (8-9) inside Raymond James Stadium. However, the win didn't secure Tampa's next NFC South title, though it did improve its odds entering Sunday.

Mayfield and Co. will now have to hope and pray the Atlanta Falcons (7-9) either lose or tie the New Orleans Saints (6-10) in the season finale for them to get in. If Atlanta wins, then Young's squad will take home its first NFC South crown since 2015.

Check below for all the highlights from Bucs vs. Panthers on Saturday night!
