The Carolina Panthers suffered another set back in their push for a return to the playoffs last week but can regain some momentum with a victory on Sunday. Facing an NFC South divisional rival, the Atlanta Falcons enter fresh off their biggest win of the year.
Going up against current front-runner, New Orleans, the Falcons brought constant pressure tallying six sacks in route to a 26-9 win – only their second of the season. Proving that records can be thrown out the window when divisional opponents meet, Carolina should expect a tough test despite playing at home.
Quarterback Kyle Allen needs to avoid turning the ball over and granting Atlanta any type of momentum.
