5. Buccaneers vs. Panthers

Taking things back to Week 2, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers pulled off a major surprise on the road by defeating the Carolina Panthers in front of their own fans.

Since that loss, the Panthers have managed to win three games in a row, and the most impressive factor of all is how Carolina has pulled it off with Kyle Allen under center while Cam Newton continues to deal with an injury.

Of course, Allen having one of the league’s top running backs in Christian McCaffrey certainly helps take a ton of pressure off the Panthers quarterback since the offensive weapon has proven to be an absolute nightmare for opponents each week.

But when it comes to how McCaffrey looked against Tampa Bay, well this was one team that managed to keep him in check by only allowing 37 rushing yards on 16 carries.

Does this mean the Buccaneers’ run defense has what it take to keep McCaffrey in check for a second time?

Even if Tampa Bay finds a way to do so, the Buccaneers will also need a strong outing on offense as well, whether it happens to come from Mike Evans or Chris Godwin.

Either way, if Week 2 is any indication of what this meeting in London could have in store, fans in attendance should be in for a treat.
