The official gamebook and play-by-play
A game of losses. The Panthers lost on the scoreboard but the Bucs lost LT Luke Petitgout and RB Cadillac
Williams to seemingly very serious injuries. Little did they know replacement Donald Penn would go on to become
a real team superstar. Carolina was held scoreless until the final seconds and the ground game did its bit too.
