But the Panthers’ defense held Brady and the offense to just a field goal. Tampa Bay recovered on the Panthers’ 13-yard line. Darnold fumbled a shotgun snap on the next series. The Buccaneers’ first score snowballed into 10 unanswered points. He held his own until Evans beat him down the right sideline for a 67-yard touchdown late with 2:18 left in the second quarter.
