Carolina's defense continued to struggle getting off the field on third down this past week, allowing the Buccaneers to convert five of seven third-down chances in the first half. After recording 20 sacks in the preseason, the Panthers have just one in two games. They had none on Sunday. "I thought our pressure on the quarterback Sunday is better than what is being portrayed as far as no sacks," Fox said. "We had our chances. I can't argue that we didn't get them, but we did pressure the quarterback. We just didn't get him down." That said, the Panthers were credited with only three quarterback pressures on Sunday, the same as the previous week. Source: USA Today
