Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20 Carolina Panthers 7
Sunday 30 September 2007 at Bank of America Stadium
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Kenny Albert and Darryl Johnston
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.
