CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dave Canales went to bed at halftime of the Falcons-Bucs game Thursday night. When the second-year coach woke up Friday morning, he and the Carolina Panthers were in a position the franchise hasn’t seen in 10 years – alone in first place.

The Panthers, at 7-6, are ironically the team with the best record in one-score games, at 6-1. Two of those wins came against two of the best teams in the NFC: the Green Bay Packers and the Los Angeles Rams. They also hold a slim three-point victory over the Dallas Cowboys, who have been trying to make a late playoff push.

The Buccaneers are in danger of losing the NFC South for the first time since 2020. Here's a look at their latest playoff odds and remaining schedule.

Carolina isn’t just in the playoff hunt. They’re back in the national spotlight, and every remaining snap could shape the NFC South title race.

The Panthers' problems on third down are directly related to their inability to find good pass rushers, and to let their best go.

With a chance to see his Panthers turn in a winning season and earn a playoff berth for the first time since he became the team’s majority owner in 2018, David Tepper is excited with what’s happening in Charlotte.
