21-14 Carolina late in third

The Panthers' "Double Trouble" running attack has finally deserved the nickname this week. Jonathan Stewart scored on a 26-yard cutback run and Carolina took a 21-7 lead with 2:33 remaining in the third quarter.

However, Tampa Bay's Sammie Stroughter ran the ensuing kickoff back for a 97-yard TD, quickly slicing the Panthers lead to 21-14.

DeAngelo Williams has more than 100 yards rushing already in this game and Stewart has been good in relief as well (although he did lose a fumble at the Tampa Bay 3). Carolina has been controlling the ball in the second half, but the special-teams error (allowing the kickoff return TD) means the Bucs are still in striking distance.

Stop throwing to Steve Smith. He's DONE. Its time for him to be a High School Coach. Almost all interceptions this year were attempts to Smith.

And then Jake throws an int that's returned for the game tying TD. What a shocker. Can we please get a new QB (and head coach) now?
