Panthers won the 1-on-1 battle on 4th and 1
On the 4th and one play that changed the momentum in the second quarter, Carolina’s safety, Kurt Coleman won the battle against Atlanta’s lead blocker on the play, fullback Derrick Coleman. Kurt Coleman comes in and hits Derrick Coleman in the hole, and Devonta had nowhere to go. He literally had to stop his feet at the point of attack. Credit Panthers safety Kurt Coleman for making a good read, attacking the line of scrimmage and winning the 1-on-1 battle with the fullback.
