The Giants recreation was Baker’s first of the yr and not using a landing cross, and final season, Baker threw only one landing in two video games in opposition to the Panthers.
Tampa solely scored 30 factors within the two wins over Carolina final yr, so Baker might be due for an enormous efficiency in opposition to his former crew.
The Bucs are just one recreation again within the NFC South behind the Atlanta Falcons and two behind the Washington Commanders within the Wild Card race.
The Bucs’ remaining schedule is very favorable.
They’ve two video games in opposition to the Panthers and matchups with the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders, and Los Angeles Chargers.
Although Carolina struggles to hurry the passer, the Bucs can’t take this recreation calmly.
