Carolina Panthers vs Atlanta Falcons | Week 11 Game Preview

Carolina Panthers vs Atlanta Falcons | Week 11 Game Preview

Carolina Panthers take to the road have to shake off major disappointment after losing to a one- win Saints team. They are in Atlanta this week back at home after a trip to the land of the Scorpions. Not only did it sting, followed it with a 9-hour flight with no buy. At least they don’t have to hear JT sing by to them again. Back to Taylor with Warren blocking. Touchdown Taylor in Berlin, Germany. It’s Taylor’s game and the Colts win in overtime. Falcons trying to snap a four-game losing streak playing a team that shut them out earlier this year. This is the second meeting between the two. First one caught lots of folks by surprise. Panthers shut out Atlanta 30 to0. Carolina picking off Michael Penn twice. Took one to the proverbial crib. Penn with time is intercepted. That’s completely on Penn 100%. Shaw Smith Wade takes it in. Pennock’s latest outing not much better than that one. followed his three touchdown game with a 177yd outing, 12 for 28 passing, 76 rating. Targeted Darnell Mooney eight times, completed just one to him for 17 yardds. Just a little high and outside for Mooney, not able to make the catch right there, but that’s one Michael Penn is going to want to have back. Carolina’s secondary, though, didn’t look great versus Tyler Shuck last week. They’ve been solidish against the pass in 2025, but gave up 280 plus yards to Chuck, two touchdowns, over 10 yards per attempt, which pencled out to a fat 128 rating allowed. Goes deep down the sideline and the catch is made and taking it in is Chris. Their subpar play versus Shuck didn’t lead to a bunch of points allowed though. Held the Saints to 17. Usually plenty low enough to win a game. Only two red zone trips allowed stopped both. Shuck is going to be sacked. A big play by the Panthers defense. Nick Gordon. Panthers defense has held three of their last four opponents under 18 points. Stacked against a Falcons offense that still put up 25 points despite Penn’s play. Three for three in the red zone, 23 to 25 points their last two outings. And gets the handoff and gets the touchdown to tie the game. the driving force behind the points they managed last week, their rush attack and Drake London. London, the one Falcons pass catcher with 40 plus yards last week, 104 scored. That’s a touchdown in four of his last five. Pennock floats it. London reaches out and holds it in. Touchdown Drake London. The red zone machine strikes again. On that note, Carolina’s DBs gave up 104 yards and a 62 yard TD to Chris Olive. Gave up a TD and 92 yards to tight end Jawan Johnson. Atlanta’s Kyle Pitts last week. Five targets, 38 yards. Behan Robinson just four receiving yards, but he got it going on the ground for the first time since his big Buffalo game back in week six. 84 yards versus Indie 4.9 per carry. And here is their top back Robinson with an excellent run to start Atlanta’s offensive day. Tyler Algier also comes in off a nice one. Two scores, 57 yds, 5.2 a pop. Here is Alier looking for the end zone and the lead. Touchdown Atlanta. Based on Carolina’s body of work against the run, Atlanta’s running back duo could keep it rolling. Carolina has allowed running backs to hit at 4.8 8 a carry, but last week they did hold Alvin Chimera to 3.8 per attempt. And nothing for Chimera, but he got stoned by Derek Brown. Their front also doesn’t have many sacks this season. Trevan Wallace, Nick Scorton responsible for the two shuck bags they picked up. Pennock took a season high three sacks in their loss to the Colts. Hit hard from the backside. That ball is out and the Colts have it. Pennured 35% of the time, average territory. Only the second time he’s been sacked three times in a game. Not usually a problem. His counterpart, Bryce Young, only took two sacks versus New Orleans. Really rough outing nonetheless as well. 124 yds, a measly 5 yardd per attempt. No TDs, one pick, a 62 rating. Throws one and it’s intercepted. Underthrown in the area where McMillan was. Under 200 yd passing, eight of nine games now under 5.6 six per attempt, which is low to begin with. Three straight games, he’s under six per try for the season. Zero touchdowns in his last two games, a pick in each. Offense, in turn, only good for seven points last week. Three for nine on third down. And that’s not good enough. And throwing short doesn’t work for Bryce Young. That’s four straight games. Carolina hasn’t scored 17 points. Young and company do get a rattled defense. Most of the rattling took place along the ground though, gashed by JT in Germany. That’s the movie title for Atlanta’s defense last week. The game winner, one of three touchdowns they gave up to Jonathan Taylor, led to 31 points scored. They’ve now given up 24 plus three straight games. Ducking inside, he is in. A touchdown for Indianapolis. Taylor did those birds dirty. 244 yards on 7.6 a run. Atlanta gave up an 80 plus yard TD to him. Jonathan Taylor big run. There he goes and Indianapolis takes the lead. Now they get running back Hangingel Mcringleberry. Typically Carolina’s best offensive weapon. Dowel is in for a Carolina touchdown. The fact Rico Dowel gave him a zero pump celebration after getting fined for two makes him even more legendary. He did struggle though, finishing with 53 yards on 2.9 per carry. was 4.6 or better the previous five straight. He and Tora McMillan, once again the only sources of significant offensive production. McMillan, the only Panthers pass catcher with 40 plus yards, finished with 60, 60 plus yards in six of 10 games. Throws wide open. McMillan first down. Tight end Jatavian Sanders, five catches, 32 yds. Jaylen Coker, three for 21. Falcons secondary gave up 42 more yards to Taylor through the air, 84 yards to Alec Pierce, 99 to tight end Tyler Warren, 255 to Daniel Jones, over 9 yardds per attempt, a 100 plus rate. Now Jones takes a shot into double coverage. End zone. It’s Pierce leaping for the touchdown. Atlanta’s play versus Indy’s skill set guys made you feel bad for their pass rushers. Like they worked it last week. They bagged it up seven times. That’s six plus sacks. Back-to- back games. No diggity. Jones under pressure. That ball is out. Jaylen Walker recovers and James Pierce, the other rookie linebacker, charred it loose. They blitzed Jones 46% of the time. They remain the blitz happiest team in the league. Bryce versus five plus in 2025, a 68 rate, second lowest of any qualified passer. He tried to bail out, was brought down. a sack. That was only a four-man front, but then they added to it. We revisited their first ever game against each other in our first preview of these two. Atlanta won it 23 to 20 in OT. So, Carolina’s turn. Here’s the first ever win over the Dirty Birds, which took place a few weeks after their first meeting. The Falcons needed a victory to clinch a playoff spot and exploded to a 14 to nothing lead when Carolina launched their most stirring comeback of the year. Trailing by three with seven minutes remaining, the offense called on one more big play to take the lead. Green down the near sideline. He’s going to score. Touchdown. Touchdown. We’re coming down to this. It’s Atlanta ball at the Carolina six-yd line. Fourth down and goal, gentlemen. This is what it’s all about. Looking. Looking. Sprints out to the near sideline. Big rush. Now he’ll throw. Broken up in the end zone. Broken up in the end zone. This game’s over. How about number seven?
