The Carolina Panthers are playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week for the NFC South title and the winner could end up hosting the Los Angeles Rams in the wild card round of the playoffs. Kind of. There’s a chance that next week’s game between the Panthers and Bucs is not an outright division title game and that’s actually going to be decided in part by the Rams.

Wearing a yellow non-contact jersey, Tkachuk practiced Sunday for the first time this season and more than four months after he had surgery to repair a sports hernia and torn adductor muscle.

To the victors go the spoils, and the spoils for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday was a little social-media trolling of the Carolina Panthers after their 27-10 win.

Seattle (13-3) handcuffed Carolina’s offense all day at Bank of America Stadium, taking advantage of a couple of third-quarter turnovers to beat the Panthers 27-10 and stay atop the NFC with one game to play. The Seahawks also won 13 games for the first time in franchise history.

Florida has gone through this season with the expectation that Tkachuk would be back on a “December-ish” timeline. He has said he wants to play in the Winter Classic, the Panthers’ first outdoor game, and for Team USA at the Milan Cortina Olympics in February.

The Seahawks were in town Sunday and brought Seattle-like weather with them. Somewhere in the fog was the NFC South title, and unfortunately, Carolina couldn’t find it. The Panthers trailed 3-0 in the second quarter when their defense made a play.

The Carolina Panthers have lost another member of their 2024 draft class to another season-ending injury. Per head coach Dave Canales, tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders sustained a broken ankle in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The second-year starter is set to undergo surgery tomorrow and will miss the remainder of the campaign.

The Seattle Seahawks have now won six straight games, as they defeated the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, 23-10. This was a sloppy game that featured a halftime score of 3-3. However, a couple of Carolina turnovers in the third quarter opened the door for the Seahawks to run away with win No. 13, and that's exactly what they did.
