The Carolina Panthers may be 9-3, but questions persist about this team heading into Monday's night's critical game against Tampa Bay.

Over the past three weeks, the Panthers have surrendered an average of 30.3 points per game, and that's excluding the punt return the special teams allowed for a touchdown two weeks ago against Atlanta.

That's a dramatic change from earlier in the season, where the Panthers were stellar on defense and ranked No. 2 in the league allowing just 18.7 points per game.

"Yeah, it's been frustrating," safety Chris Harris said. "It's something we need to correct. Playing in December, giving up 31 points is going to get you beat.

On a key play in the game, Peppers chased down Rodgers as he rolled out of the pocket and hit him just as Rodgers was heading out of bounds, drawing a 15-yard penalty and an automatic first down at the Carolina 7-yard line.

Fortunately for Peppers he got bailed out when the defense held on three plays and forced a field goal. Carolina's offense, set up near midfield after a big kickoff return by Mark Jones, scored the go-ahead touchdown on its next drive to take the lead and win 35-31.

John Fox is no fan of lists and shies away from comparing things, so the question stumped him. The Carolina Panthers coach was asked Monday where Steve Smith's back-arching, over-the-head grab in the snow in Green Bay a day earlier ranks in Smith's overflowing list of eye-popping plays. Fox started to bring up some of the other remarkable, leaping grabs and tackle-breaking runs after catches he's...
