"It was nerve-wracking, mistake-loaded for both teams, and featured some truly incredible mishaps on defense for Atlanta, which allowed Bryce Young to easily hit his career high in passing yards. In the end, the Falcons did what they've done so many times this year and blew it, allowing a big lead to evaporate, going out with a whimper in overtime,"
"They appear too talented for this, even with injuries taking a major toll on the roster, so perhaps they clean house and try to install a new regime that they hope will reserve a very long string of losing seasons. Perhaps they'll chalk it up to comical errors and injuries after all and try to run this thing back. Regardless, we're at the point with the Atlanta Falcons where no outcome is too dire and devastating to imagine,"
The Falcons produced an erratic performance, starting poorly, rallying to a 21-7 lead, then surrendering a late Carolina advantage before forcing overtime with a Zane Gonzalez field goal. Both teams committed costly mistakes, and Atlanta showed multiple defensive mishaps that allowed Bryce Young to reach a career high in passing yards. Atlanta surrendered a big lead and lost in overtime when Tommy Tremble broke free to set up the game-winning Panthers field goal. The sweep by Carolina triggered a five-game losing streak, injuries depleted the roster, and the season is effectively over while prompting questions about organizational change.
