Mayfield throws 5 TD passes and Bucs keep playoff, NFC South hopes alive with 48-14 rout of Panthers

Associated Press  

TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers played like a team determined to do whatever’s necessary to make the playoffs. Tampa Bay’s fifth win in the past six weeks, combined with Atlanta’s overtime loss at Washington on Sunday night, gave the Bucs sole possession of first place in the NFC South. “If we can win next week and get a little help,” Bowles added, “that will mean a lot to me.” Mayfield threw for 359 yards and five touchdowns without an interception for the Bucs, the only team in the NFC that’s made the playoffs each of the past four seasons. He controlled the ball, spread it around, got everybody touches.” Mayfield threw TD passes of 2 and 1 yards to Mike Evans, and Tampa Bay produced points on five straight first-half possessions to build a 27-7 lead. The fourth-round draft pick ran for 152 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries against the NFL’s 32nd-ranked run defense in Tampa Bay’s 26-23 overtime win at Carolina on Dec. 1.
