KEY GAME INFORMATION
TAMPA BAY: Because the team was involved in so many back-and-forth, comeback affairs, Tampa was more pass-happy than head coach Greg Schiano would have liked. That should change this year, as they'll rely heavily on Doug Martin as the centerpiece of the offense. They'll continue to use a lot of zone blocking in front of Martin, and Erik Lorig will be on the field often as a lead blocker. They added ex-Bengal hybrid back Brian Leonard, one of Schiano's best players at Rutgers. He figures to take some passing down reps from Martin, but he won't get many carries. Rookie Mike James won't be used much either. The Bucs brass is reportedly a little sour on Josh Freeman, and they may opt to take the ball out of his hands more. Most of what they'll do will be based off play-action and aimed at getting the big play. Vincent Jackson will continue to see a ton of passes thrown his way on the outside, with Mike Williams settled in as a complementary player. Martin will see more work in the passing game, both as a safety valve and on screens. The Bucs don't have a big role for the tight ends in this offense, but they don't have much talent at that position anyway. Tampa Bay would also like to get more run-heavy in the red zone, where Martin now takes pretty much all reps. The Bucs boasted the NFL's No. 1 run defense (82.5 rush YPG allowed), but only because teams torched them through the air for a league-worst 297 passing YPG. Shutdown CB Darrelle Revis and hard-hitting FS Dashon Goldson will help fix the broken secondary, but the pass rush (26 sacks, T-3rd-worst in NFL) is still pretty weak, even if DE Adrian Clayborn returns 100 percent from last year's torn ACL. But there's nothing weak about non-stop WLB Lavonte David who recorded 20 TFL (3rd in NFL) as a rookie last year.
CAROLINA: New offensive coordinator Mike Shula was promoted from QB coach, so there won't be many offensive changes. Carolina uses a zone-blocking scheme in a number of looks, from spread to wishbone. Jonathan Stewart figures to lead the RB committee in carries, with DeAngelo Williams in a No. 2 role and Mike Tolbert splitting time at halfback and fullback. They use a lot of zone read options with Cam Newton, who could very well lead the team in rushing again as Shula is committed to letting his star pupil make plays. This is a vertical passing game that works off the threat of the run. Shula will continue to make it a point to feed Steve Smith any time he's in single coverage. Smith still does most of his work downfield. Flex TE Greg Olsen serves as essentially a No. 2 receiver, working up the seam most of the time but also coming back on some checkdowns in the middle of the field. They started to work in Brandon LaFell last year as a catch-and-run guy, and he figures to kick inside when they increasingly go three-wide with field-stretcher Domenik Hixon outside. The red zone will continue to be where Newton takes over. He had nearly half the team's rushing attempts inside the 10 last year, and he and Tolbert essentially split goal line chances. When they throw, Olsen figures to be the No. 1 target. This defense will need another year or two before becoming an above-average unit. LB Luke Kuechly led the NFL with 164 tackles as a rookie, and the Panthers drafted two large DTs in Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short who will be great down the road. But although no Carolina player had more than two interceptions in 2012, the team did nothing to bolster its secondary. The best cover men are underwhelming CBs Josh Norman and Josh Taylor, and top SS Haruki Nakamura has no business being a starter in the NFL.

*Buccaneers-Panthers Preview* =============================

By JOHN KOSIK STATS Editor

Cam Newton quickly established himself as one of the most versatile quarterbacks in the NFL when he entered the league, winning offensive rookie of the year honors in a virtual landslide after a record-setting 2011.

Now he seems to have added a knack for playing his best in tight situations.

After leading a pair of winning drives in his last two games, Newton and the Panthers seek a franchise-record eighth straight win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Newton rallied the Panthers (8-3) from a 16-3 first-half deficit Sunday for a 20-16 win over Miami, allowing Carolina to match the record seven-game streak it had to close the 1996 season.

His completion on fourth-and-10 at his own 20 kept the final possession alive and he threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Greg Olsen with 43 seconds left to cap the 12-play drive. The Panthers also converted a pair of third downs on the winning drive and remain one game behind New Orleans (9-2) in the NFC South.

"It may not be pretty," Newton said, "but at the end of the game we get that three-letter word, and that's gorgeous."

Newton closed the opening half with another strong drive, leading Carolina 52 yards for a field goal in the final 61 seconds with no timeouts to cut it to 16-6. On a gutsy call by coach Ron Rivera in the third quarter, he ran eight yards on fourth-and-1 from the Panthers 41 before scoring on a keeper from 5 yards out to make it 16-13.

"They have been calling our coach Riverboat Ron because he likes to gamble," said Newton, who had a 78.4 passer rating during a 1-3 start but has bumped that to 94.3 during the win streak.

Newton's clutch performance against the Dolphins came on the heels of a 24-20 win over New England on Nov. 18 in which he led the Panthers 83 yards on 13 plays and threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Ted Ginn Jr. with 59 seconds left to take the lead.

Newton has had four games with at least a 111.0 rating and is completing 64.3 percent of his passes in the seven victories.

"I think it has a lot to do with us growing up," Rivera told the team's official website. "It's the growth of our quarterback and our offensive unit and the growth of our defensive unit as well.

The defense has come up just as big as Newton this season, ranking third in the NFL in both rushing (81.5) and total yards (297.5) allowed per game.

"These guys understand what it takes now," Rivera added, "and they're still learning and growing and getting better and better."

Carolina is 3-2 against the Buccaneers with Newton under center, including a 31-13 win at Tampa on Oct. 24 in which he threw two touchdowns and ran for another. The third-year quarterback has a 106.6 passer rating in those five games with 13 total TDs and only two interceptions - both coming in a 16-10 loss Sept. 9, 2012.

With a decent run defense that is allowing 101.6 yards per game, the Bucs (3-8) have a chance to contain Newton, who has 379 rushing yards and is averaging 4.9 per carry. Newton may not have to contend with Darrelle Revis, however, after the All-Pro cornerback sat out the second half of Sunday's win over Detroit with a groin injury.

The problem for Tampa Bay, winner of two of three in Carolina, will be overcoming the Panthers' defense. The Bucs are second to last in the NFL with 303.4 yards per game and are in the middle of the pack with an average of 109.8 on the ground.

During a tumultuous season that opened with eight straight losses amid continual calls from fans for the firing of coach Greg Schiano, the bright spot has been the recent play of rookie quarterback Mike Glennon.

The third-round pick out of North Carolina State threw for 247 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions during the 24-21 win over the Lions - the fourth time in five games that he hasn't turned the ball over.

Since replacing Josh Freeman, he's completed nearly 63 percent of his passes for 13 touchdowns and four interceptions in eight starts, becoming the first QB in NFL history to throw a scoring pass in his first eight games.

"He's playing at a higher level than you would expect of a rookie," Schiano said.

Glennon has 1,782 yards passing and needs 74 to pass Freeman (1,855 in 2009) for the most by a rookie in team history.

Tampa Bay has joined the 1978 St. Louis Cardinals as the only NFL teams to follow an 0-8 start with a three-game win streak.
