FOX COMMENTARY CREW Chris Myers and Mark Schlereth
One of those games that the Bucs should have lost but will go down as a much-needed win. It took a 36-yard drive in six plays in the last 30 seconds to force the tying fieldgoal. Anthony Nelson then forced a fumble in overtime when the Panthers were in fieldgoal range followed by Rachaad White’s 38- yard run to set up Chase McLaughlin’s game winner. The Bucs were back at 6-6 and right in the NFC South division battle with Atlanta after their loss.
