Past Meetings

The Falcons hold a 36-22 edge over the Panthers in the all-time matchup, and Atlanta has won 12 of the last 17 meetings. The two sides split two games last season, with the Falcons winning 24-10 in Week 1 and the Panthers punching back with a 9-7 victory in Week 15.

Since 2020, the Falcons and Panthers have split their two matchups each season.

What to Watch

The Panthers benched 2023 No. 1 overall draft pick Bryce Young after just two games, opting instead for veteran quarterback Andy Dalton. In three starts, Dalton has completed 69-of-106 passes (65.1%) for 675 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions.

Carolina's defense has struggled, as it ranks last in points allowed (33 per game) and yards allowed (371.2 per game). As such, the Panthers will likely need a big offensive output, which puts stress on Falcons defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake.

The Falcons are anticipating a substantial challenge from Carolina's offense Sunday.

"When you look at the roster offensively, you see talent across the whole (board), between offensive line, running backs, quarterback, receivers," Lake said Thursday. "It's a talented bunch. And they're making their way, they're making their strides, and we're expecting their best."

Bottom Line

The Falcons and Panthers will kick off at 4:25 p.m. Sunday inside Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
