Up until three weeks ago, the Atlanta Falcons vs. Carolina Panthers matchup was a one-sided affair.
The Falcons enjoyed a five-game winning streak against Carolina prior to their Oct. 11 meeting, which resulted in a 23-16 Panthers victory. So rare are Panthers wins in this matchup that the Week 5 result was just the second win by Carolina over Atlanta in five years (10 games).
However, the Panthers (3-4) have demonstrated that they are better than the Falcons (1-6) so far this season. Not that that's saying much — the teams occupy the bottom two spots in the NFC South division, and both are coming off losses.
Carolina fell 27-24 to the Saints last week, giving the Panthers two straight defeats. Atlanta lost a heartbreaker to the Lions, 23-22, in yet another game in which the Falcons blew a second-half lead.
Needless to say, both teams are looking at Thursday's game as a prime opportunity to get back into the win column.
