TAMPA, Fla. — Baker Mayfield threw for 359 yards and five touchdowns to help the Tampa Bay Buccaneers keep their division and playoff hopes alive with a 48-14 rout of the Carolina Panthers. Tampa Bay's fifth win in the past six weeks, combined with Atlanta's overtime loss at Washington on Sunday night, gave the Bucs sole possession of first place in the NFC South.
