Game News
Cordarrelle Patterson is now up to 10 total touchdowns scored this season, setting a career-high for the most he's had in his career. At 1-year, $3M, he's been arguably the best value signing in free agency for any NFL team this season.
What a week for Mykal Walker! He had his first son on Wednesday and his first career interception today 🙠pic.twitter.com/QpHd7YYUNa
Major note: Russell Gage had 58 of the Falcons 75 yards covered in that scoring drive.
This tweet will get eviscerated but I feel like Arthur Smith should at least get mentioned in the Coach of the Year discussion. 6-7 with that roster and no Ridley is really impressive.
Cordarrelle Patterson's rushing touchdown, Matt Ryan's passing score and Mykal Walker's pick-six helped the Atlanta Falcons take down the Carolina Panthers in Week 14 of the 2021 NFL season.

"He doesn't let up on us. He doesn't let us get down. He makes sure we go out and execute." -- Mike Davis Bair: Arthur Smith plays vital role keeping Falcons in the fight: atlfal.co.nz/3IMF3mH
A.J. Terrell is one of my players to watch. It's so nice for the Falcons to have a talented CB.
Panthers' Cam Erving whiffs on Dante Fowler, gets Cam sacked. Erving looked at Dennis Daley like he was supposed to help. Falcons ball.
Younghoe Koo's 48-yard FG is GOOD. Falcons extend their lead to 29-14 with 6:10 remaining in the game.
Panthers rookie OL Brady Christensen will make his first start at guard after one previous start each at RT and LT. He and Dennis Daley will have their hands full with Grady Jarrett.
Erik Harris has a chest injury and is questionable to return.
Saw a lot of tweets re: John Cominsky after his TFL. Cominsky is a guy who Dean Pees has really tried to find the right role for. He's been inactive a lot this season. But it looks like OLB is working for him today with Ade Ogundeji inactive.
Both the Atlanta Falcons (5-7) and Carolina Panthers (5-7) have been trending in the wrong direction over the last few weeks, but something’s got to give when they face off in their second matchup of the season in Week 14.
The Falcons released their inactives list for Sunday’s game in Carolina and two rookies have been ruled out. Safety Richie Grant and outside linebacker Ade Ogundeji won’t play in this one. Also, defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard practiced all week but is inactive against the Panthers
Looks like the #Panthers benched Cam Newton. PJ Walker is in at QB.
That's the Panthers' first TD in the third quarter since a Chuba Hubbard 5-yard run in ARI. It's their third offensive TD in the third quarter this year (at HOU was the other).
Former Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady wants to remain in NFL and already has heard from teams. nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…
PJ Walker connects with Robby Anderson for the TD! 📺: #ATLvsCAR on FOX 📱: NFL app pic.twitter.com/1oyzEpbdn1
Matt Rhule left open the possibility of platooning the QB position during the week.
Jeremy Chinn in the 🆕 @CharlotteFC kit #ForTheCrown 👑 pic.twitter.com/WEML272jNH
Not benched. Matt Rhule said he'd use P.J. Walker in certain situations this game in areas that Cam is more unfamiliar with, like the 2 minute offense. twitter.com/PrimeTime21461…
Today was Stephon Gilmore's first start as a Panther.
Tommy Tremble and DJ Moore are helping out this quarter.
This game getting ugly in a hurry for the Panthers. Lachlan Edwards with the shank. ATL will start at its 49. Defense needs to step up.
Rashaan Melvin in for C.J. Henderson for the start of this series.
P.J. Walker says Matt Rhule's process works. But as the losses stack up for the Panthers, how long will David Tepper be willing to wait? theathletic.com/3012140/2021/1…
Patterson 5-yard TD run ties it at 7-7. Ryan was 3-4 for 58 yards when targeting CJ Henderson.
Myles Hartsfield roughing the passer is an absolute killer.
Panthers' inactives: Injured: G Michael Jordan, G John Miller. Scratches: LB Frankie Luvu, WR Shi Smith, QB Matt Barkley, S Kenny Robinson, DE Darryl Johnson.
Jermaine Carter recovers Ollison fumble. And P.J. Walker still in.
Moore brought in six of 10 targets for 84 yards in the Panthers' 29-21 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He also missed some time late in the contest with a knee injury but wanted to come back into the game, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
It remains to be seen how serious the knee issue might be, but the health issue aside, the star wideout had a productive game on an afternoon where the Panthers passing attack wasn't exactly at its sharpest. Moore's reception total was his best since Week 7, while his yardage tally qualified as his second highest since all the way back in Week 4. With a 10-187 line over the past two contests, Moore will head into a difficult Week 15 road matchup against the Bills with some momentum if he's able to suit up.
Jeff Nixon taking over play-calling duties for the departed Joe Brady won’t be the only change the Carolina Panthers offense will be experiencing today. The other, of course, will come on that ever-lovable line.
With starting guards John Miller and Michael Jordan having been ruled out on Friday, the Panthers will roll with Dennis Daley and rookie Brady Christensen on the interior. They’ll be accompanied by a returning Cameron Erving, who assumes his role back at left tackle this week against the Atlanta Falcons
