From slow to wild in a few plays.

The Panthers and Buccaneers are playing a good one in Charlotte. They’re tied at 14 in the third quarter after Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston threw a touchdown pass to Mike Evans and then hit Adam Humphries on a two-point conversion pass to tie the game.

Cameron Artis-Payne has two third-quarter touchdown runs for the Panthers, who trailed 6-0 at halftime. There were no touchdowns for the game’s first 35-plus minutes, and there have been three since.

Evans was wide open on his 26-yard touchdown catch. The Bucs needed it, badly, after falling behind and after failing to score a touchdown in the first half.
