Falcons' defense changed the narrative to finish a game. Can they keep it up?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Atlanta Falcons had a 90% chance of winning on Thursday night with an eight-point lead when the Carolina Panthers took the field for their final possession with less than three minutes remaining.

Sound like a familiar situation?

Most, if not all, of those who have followed Atlanta’s woes probably had one of those “here we go again" moments, expecting the Falcons to blow this one as they had three other games where the odds were stacked heavily in their favor.

Instead, Atlanta got an interception from cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson to give interim coach Raheem Morris his second win in in three games since Dan Quinn was fired after a Week 5 loss to Carolina.
