CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to make a run at their fourth straight NFC South championship. The Buccaneers trail the Atlanta Falcons by one game in the NFL’s weakest division entering Sunday’s showdown with the Carolina Panthers, who hired Canales away from Tampa Bay as head coach after he helped resurrect Mayfield’s career last season. “And so, the bottom line is, he’s giving us a chance to win.” Favorable schedule The Bucs statistically have faced the most difficult schedule in the NFL entering Week 13, with eight of 11 the games they’ve played featuring opponents currently sporting a winning record. “Guys are starting to buy into what coach Canales has brought to this team,” Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen said. Wounded rookies The Panthers have relied heavily on rookie pass catchers this season, but will be without both tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders and Jalen Coker on Sunday because of injuries.
