The Atlanta Falcons defense played lights out. They gave up 345 total yards, had five sacks, forced two fumbles and had two interceptions. Overall, they had four takeaways.
Why do we only see this defensive domination for the most part only against the division rival Panthers?
If only the Falcons played with the same amount of passion weekly against other teams as they do Carolina, their record wouldn’t be 4-9. This is the defense fans have been imploring for all season long.
Many contributing factors have led to such inconsistency on the defensive side of the ball.
