Greg Auman NFC South Reporter TAMPA, Fla. – The Buccaneers offense had ground to a halt, managing two first downs in its last five drives, and the slump was bad enough that Carolina — one-win Carolina, with the worst record in the NFL — had scored to take a 10-7 lead midway through the third quarter.
