CHARLOTTE – No division title is won in Week 4, but the race for the NFC South is underway and the Atlanta Falcons have an early lead.
The Panthers intend to change that on Sunday in their first divisional matchup at the Georgia Dome, which is the first of three consecutive division games for the three-time reigning NFC South champions.
“We’re in a position where we can beat a division foe and take a step up on them in the (NFC South),” head coach Ron Rivera said. “This is an important game.”
Atlanta (2-1) is the only team in the division with a winning record through three games.
