Defensive end Derrick Shelby:
There was a mixture of both good and bad from a shorthanded Atlanta Falcons defense this week. I’m not here to recap the entire game for you, but in a nutshell, for almost two quarters, the Falcons held the Panthers scoreless, and there was an interception midway through the fourth. The bad, however, is that the d-line struggled at times against an offense that was missing three starters. Derrick Shelby finished the game with 1 tackle to help lead the Falcons to a 31-24 win over the Panthers.
Free safety Eric Weddle:
We saw more production from Eric Weddle this week.
