Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers — 2026 Week 7 | Box Score, Drive Chart & Win Probability | Dynatyze

the 2025 regular season · the rooms, read for these two clubs

Two identities, on the league scale

Last season, labelled as last season

There is no 2026 play-by-play at all yet — the plays are about 20 minutes after each final, with the 5:00 AM ET nightly sync behind it and the Monday 4:00 AM ET weekly sync as the audited pass, and no game has been played. So every rate below is drawn from the 2025 regular season, labelled that way on purpose rather than dressed up as a forecast for this one.

Pass rate over expected

The Over Expected Room →

How far a play-caller ran from the pass rate the situation asked for, in percentage points. A team above zero passes more than the down, distance and score script called for; a team below it runs more. A scramble counts as a pass, because the model's idea of a pass is the dropback.

Fourth downs, went for it

The Fourth Down Room →

Share of fourth downs on which the offence ran a play instead of kicking. The denominator is every fourth down with a decision on it — go, field goal or punt.

Blitz sent on defence

The Tendency Room →

Share of charted dropbacks this defence sent an extra rusher on. Charting is a separate feed from the play-by-play and it begins in 2022, so an older basis season has no blitz number at all.

Drives allowed to score

The Drive Room →

Share of opponent possessions this defence let end in points. Lower is better, and the rank reads that way — rank 1 is the stingiest defence in the league. Every possession in football is one team's drive and another team's stop, so POOLED over the league these are the same drives counted twice. The figure printed here is the unweighted mean of the qualifying clubs' rates, which is a different average: a club that faces more drives than it runs pulls the two apart, by a few hundredths over a full season and by a few tenths early in one.

Note

Shares are the mean of a player's weekly share, over the games he cleared eight snaps in — not a season total divided by a season, which would let one enormous week stand in for a role. Weeks 19 through 22 are excluded by hand: the usage table spells every row's season type REG, playoffs included, so the week bound is what keeps the postseason out.
