Why the Carolina Panthers control the NFC South division title race heading into the final two weeks

Locked On Panthers - Daily Podcast On The Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers head to Tampa Bay on Sunday to face the Buccaneers for the second time this season. Back in Week 13, Carolina dominated Tampa for three quarters before falling apart defensively in the fourth quarter and overtime. Now, the Panthers have an opportunity not only for redemption but also to end Tampa's season, with a win against the Bucs paired with an Atlanta Falcons win over the Washington Commanders. Julian Council provides his three keys to victory against Tampa.

Although they are currently on the outside looking in at the NFC playoff picture, the Carolina Panthers will likely have a chance to influence who wins the NFC South title in the final two weeks. Julian discusses the significance of this as head coach Dave Canales continues to foster a winning culture in Charlotte.

Additionally, a look at the Week 17 Injury Report ahead of Sunday's game.
