The Carolina Panthers haven’t been a favorite very often in recent seasons, but they did close as a 2.5-point road favorite against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Carolina not only hadn’t covered any of its last 12 games as a favorite, but had lost all of them outright. The last game the Panthers had won outright as a favorite came nearly five years ago, back on Sept. 23, 2021, when Carolina beat the Houston Texans 24-9 as a 4.5-point home favorite. It was a different story Sunday afternoon. T...
The Carolina Panthers routed the Atlanta Falcons 34–3 in Week 2 on September 20, 2026. Panthers outgained the Falcons, 341 total yards to 278.
It wasn't a good day for Jack Strand and the Atlanta Falcons.
One week after describing his play calling as “herky-jerky” in a Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers first-year head coach Mike McCarthy was very critical of himself following the 20-3 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 2. The Steelers gained just 235 total yards on Sunday, averaging just 3.5 yards […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense may have left some plays on the field in Week 1 in their 20-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons, but the big plays were there to be had, which provided optimism for Week 2. All of that optimism was swiftly thrown out the window against the New England Patriots in a […]
Unheralded Jack Strand was briefly a fan favorite.
The Falcons turned the ball over 5 times and delivered a noncompetitive performance behind quarterback Cooper Rush against the rival Panthers. Kevin Knight and Allen Strk discuss the decision to start Rush once again, Atlanta’s special teams struggles, and thoughts on the defense’s issues. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode of The Falcoholic Live! Watch […]
After a 59 point blowout to open the season, the Panthers found themselves in the familiar Misery and Sadness Bowl with the Falcons. They proved they might be a team team to watch out for once again. First Quarter The Panthers started off the game with a nice turnover, as regular season starting knight Nick […]
We came into this game knowing it had the potential to be ugly. Bryce Young usually kills the Falcons, Cooper Rush was starting at quarterback, and that alone seemed like it could go awry. It did go awry, and it did get ugly. Rush fumbled on the first play of the game. Rush threw an […]
The Atlanta Falcons entered Week 2 facing a challenging quarterback situation. Insiders, including Josh Kendall from The Athletic, reported that Cooper Rush would remain the starter, leaving fans feeling discouraged about the team’s prospects. However, this plan quickly fell apart during the game as the offense struggled to find any rhythm. A significant twist occurred […]

ARLINGTON, Texas — Tyler Goodson is inactive for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday against the Washington Commanders at AT&T Stadium, five days after the team signed him off the Atlanta Falcons practice squad. Dallas made the move on Sept. 15 and waived Israel Abanikanda to open the roster spot. The Cowboys have had to navigate […]
On Sunday, the Atlanta Falcons hit the field for a home game against the Carolina Panthers, but they might as well have not bothered to show up, as they found themselves down 34-3 at one point in the third quarter. The Falcons started Cooper Rush at quarterback again in this one, but he ended up […]

The Atlanta Falcons were forced to make another change at quarterback after another disappointing showing from Cooper Rush.
The first half couldn’t have gone much worse for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who trail the New England Patriots 10-3 at halftime after a late field goal before the break. The defense has played well, with the exception of TreVeyon Henderson’s 39-yard touchdown run. The offense, meanwhile, has looked even worse than it did during last week’s sluggish performance against the Atlanta Falcons. The offensive line isn’t holding up against the Patriots’ pass rush, and the run game hasn’t had much room t...
The Pittsburgh Steelers picked up a win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1 despite missing one of the team’s most important defensive players. Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. sat out for that contest due to back and conditioning issues. While Porter was able to get in limited practices in Week 2, he’ll miss Sunday’s contest due to those issues. But if the team has its way, Porter will take the field next week. The Steelers are reportedly planning for Porter to return to action against the Cincinnat...
The Falcons are 0-1 and set to start Cooper Rush today, so I think it’s fair to say many fans are already combating Falcons fatigue. A win here against a divisional rival, one that would send Carolina to 0-2, would certainly help lift our spirits. We’ll soon find out if the Falcons have that kind […]
The Carolina Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons are opening NFC South play today in Bryce Young’s adopted hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. We are overhyping his success in that city largely because we don’t have much else to do just yet. Young has little other history to lean back on and it is only Week 2, […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receivers are coming off a rough performance in Week 1, and now they’re shorthanded entering Sunday’s Week 2 matchup against the New England Patriots. Though the Steelers won against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1, the offense had major struggles. The run game was very inconsistent, and the pass catchers struggled to consistently catch the football. DK Metcalf had a huge drop on what could have gone for a touchdown, and he failed to make a contested catch in the en...
