Falcons vs. Panthers: How the game will be won or lost
How much of a difference one year makes in the NFL.
After last year’s regular season finale had major playoff implications, the Falcons and Panthers face off in a game without any high stakes. Carolina is still technically in the playoff picture, yet they’re aware that their playoff aspirations are essentially over. A six-game losing streak has left them a state of despair. With Ron Rivera firmly on the hot seat and unable to find solutions, there is no telling how Carolina performs on Sunday. They did put in a valiant effort against the best team in the NFC last Monday night. It wasn’t enough in the end as their franchise quarterback continued to play like a diminished version of himself.
