A Captain By Name, Panthers’ Munnerlyn Wants To Lead By Example

He had one of those Jekyll/Hyde afternoons against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday, and it could have been a celebratory one had his Carolina Panthers held on to an 11-point lead with just six minutes to go.

The Buccaneers come to town on a roll and want to head back to Tampa Bay with their first four-game win streak since 2008 even though they have dropped three of their last four at Bank of America Stadium.
