Panthers score TD on forward fumble (Video)

The Carolina Panthers are about to be 4-0 and are scoring ridiculous touchdowns left and right.

When you’re the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, anything that can go wrong likely will go wrong. In what was at the time a tight game at 17-10, the Panthers capitalized on a missed Buccaneers field goal by scoring one of the most insane touchdowns of the season so far.

The play was insane, to say the least, as Jonathan Stewart fumbled the ball right to Ed Dickson who had nothing except green, soggy grass ahead of him.

This isn’t an illegal play, despite what some might have initially thought.

Forward fumble rules in #CARvsTB only apply on 4th downs, a try, or inside 2 minutes... It's a touchdown! #NFLonFOX

It was an insane play that is so atypically Buccaneers that it is almost perfect for it to happen. What needs to be addressed here is that the Panthers are very close to becoming 4-0 this season and taking a leap forward in the NFC playoff field.

Atlanta is going to be undefeated as well, but the Panthers seem to be lucking their way into another huge season that might end in the postseason for a third straight year.
