In what had the potential to be a letdown game for the Atlanta Falcons as they came off a major win in New Orleans, they continued to roll. And roll they did.
The Atlanta Falcons defense absolutely shut down this Carolina offense and largely contained MVP candidate Christian McCaffrey with a “bend don’t break” mentality on defense. Without the Kyle Allen turnovers, McCaffrey had the numbers to make this game closer than we would like.
The first Carolina possession showed Kyle Allen what kind of day he would be having. De’Vondre Campbell picked off Allen after only three plays.
