The Falcons and Panthers square off in a meaningful December matchup for the first time in a number of years. Each is in the current Wildcard hunt, and looking to make their first postseason appearance since 2017.
While the Falcons have had an incredible back and forth series history against the Buccaneers and Saints, the Panthers are the division rival whom the Birds have generally beaten up on for the most part.
After winning the first matchup of this season the Panthers drew closer in the series history, which now sits at 33-20 in favor of Atlanta.
