CHARLOTTE — The Los Angeles Rams (9-2) helped out the Carolina Panthers (6-6) on Sunday night, defeating NFC South foe, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34-7, helping the Panthers stay close in the division, something that was needed after falling 20-9 to the 49ers on Monday night.

Now, the Rams turn their sights to the Panthers directly. The two will face off this Sunday in Charlotte, as Carolina continues to work their way through a gauntlet of NFC West and South opponents. The Rams have won six in a row and are now the top-seeded team in the NFC.

The Panthers are 13-10 all-time against the Rams. Carolina is 6-5 at home and 7-5 on the road at the Rams, including a playoff win in 2003 (Steve Smith's double-overtime walk-off touchdown).
