CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won their first NFC South title since 2007 on Sunday when Tom Brady threw for 232 yards and a touchdown and Antonio Brown made a grand return to the NFL in a 32-6 rout of the Carolina Panthers. Brown has been plagued by an ankle injury and was suspended three games for breaking COVID-19 protocols prior. Ronald Jones carried 20 times for 65 yards and a touchdown filling in for the injured Leonard Fournette. The Bucs (11-4) put up 391 yards on offense after being shut out 9-0 by the New Orleans Saints last week. Panthers: Stephon Gilmore became the latest Carolina cornerback to get hit by the injury bug, leaving in the second half with a groin injury.
