In a game locked at 0-0 in Charlotte, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers remained without a score after the Bucs punted on their first four possessions and a pivotal play by Carolina was overturned. Panthers' wide receiver DJ Chark seemed to score on a 43-yard pass from quarterback Bryce Young, but the touchdown was reversed after officials ruled Chark fumbled before crossing the end zone, thanks to a great effort by the Bucs' Antoine Winfield. The ball was recovered by the Buccaneers, resulting in a touchback and possession starting at the 20-yard line. The play showcased Young's ability to create opportunities out of structure, but ultimately, the Panthers' scoring chance was lost.
The Bucs have punted on their first four possessions against the Panthers. 0-0 in Charlotte.
Carolina's DJ Chark scored an apparent TD on a 43-yard pass from Bryce Young, but the play was reviewed and reversed by officials as a fumble and recovery by the Bucs. No score still in TB-CAR.
DJ Chark with a generational fumble 😂 https://t.co/W2zfslPJjK
Bryce Young made an incredible play for almost for a touchdown to DJ Chark, but the wideout fumbled to going into pay dirt and the Bucs recovered. #Panthers
Did DJ Chark fumble before crossing into the endzone 😳 https://t.co/f15DLkPMlr
DJ Chark's fumble came after Young, scrambling to his left, made an incredible play to find Chark downfield. Antoine Winfield made a great effort for Bucs to jar the ball out but Chark can't hold the ball that loosely in that critical of a situation.
Omg, if you bet DJ Chark TD, my condolences.
Such a stupid play by DJ Chark.
Oh my god DJ Chark
That's going to be overturned, as one of Bryce's best plays of the season that should have gone for a 43-yard TD to DJ Chark instead is a touchback because Chark fumbled trying to reach the ball over the line.
Bryce Young almost made an incredible play for a touchdown to DJ Chark, but the wideout fumbled to going into pay dirt and the Bucs recovered. #Panthers
Nice off-platform play by Bryce Young to roll left and find a wide-open DJ Chark, who fumbled reaching the ball across the goal line. Kind of the Panthers' season in a nutshell.
Upon review, Chark fumbled before crossing the line. Bucs ball at the 20.
That’s a fumble by Carolina… yikes panthers.
I wouldn’t want to say DJ Chark is a traitor to the state of Louisiana for fumbling out the end zone….
43 yard TD, out of structure that Bryce Young creates Chark then fumbles it out of the endzone https://t.co/IwdT6RTJQv
Young to DJ Chark for an apparent 43-yard touchdown. Ball came out after/as he crossed the goal line. They're reviewing it.
DJ Chark is horrible
