It was on December 28th, 2014 when the Carolina Panthers came to the Georgia Dome for a winner takes all division battle with the Falcons, and absolutely beat the brakes off of Atlanta to the tune of a 34-3 scoreline.
That game was the valley for a Falcons defense that finished a distant 32nd (last) in the NFL in yards given up that season. Never was it more prevalent that the players on that side of the ball were just too slow and unathletic to be starters or even rotational players in the NFL.
The game ultimately cost head coach Mike Smith his job, and left GM Thomas Dimitroff hanging by a thread.
