Thursday Night Football in Week 8 pits Falcons & Panthers in NFC South rivalry

Two teams who are on the Green Bay Packers’ 2020 schedule will meet this evening in a divisional clash on Thursday Night Football. The Packers effectively dismantled the Atlanta Falcons in week four, shutting down Matt Ryan and his wide receivers in a convincing 30-16 victory. The Falcons’ opponent this evening, the Carolina Panthers, will come to a chilly Lambeau Field in week 15 as the season begins winding to a close.

This year’s Panthers team looks very different from last year, with Teddy Bridgewater taking over under center and Matt Rhule in his first season as an NFL head coach.
