Luckily, the Carolina Panthers ' 2023 season will come to an end as soon as possible.
The NFL has officially announced the game times for its 18th and final week of regular-season action. And the Panthers, who will be welcoming in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this upcoming Sunday, are set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET.
Carolina's clash with Tampa Bay will, of course, coincide with the other NFC South matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints . Entering Week 18, the division remains up for grabs between the 8-8 Buccaneers, the 8-8 Saints and the 7-9 Falcons.
If the Buccaneers beat the Panthers, the NFC South is theirs. If the Panthers win and Saints win, the crown goes to New Orleans . And if Panthers and Falcons win, the title settles into A-Town.
But as far as the Panthers are concerned, they probably don't care who wins the South. They're just trying to close their most embarrassing season in franchise history on a victorious note.
