The Atlanta Falcons did their most spirited impression of a complete professional football team during Sunday’s victory over the Carolina Panthers. It was a timely win in that it assuaged some of the hysteria that dominated the Falcons-related interwebs following a week one loss to World Champion Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia.

The Falcons made a big improvement in the red zone from Week 1 to Week 2. They were 4-for-4 scoring touchdowns inside the 20-yard line against the Panthers on Sunday, after they were 1-for-5 in Week 1 against the Eagles.
