It was a day of insanity for the Carolina Panthers, as the same things that have haunted them all season long, or for several seasons, were the exact reasons they couldn’t win the football game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The offensive line gave new starter Taylor Heinicke only the slimmest of opportunities as he filled in for Cam Newton, and the defensive line continued to fail to generate sacks with a four man rush, especially without Kawann Short.
It all started off about the way you’d expect.
