On yesterday, the Falcons handed the Carolina Panthers their first loss of the season. Although this ends their quest for that elusive perfect season, this might not be the worst thing that could have happened. I mean, let's think about it. Remember the last team with a perfect regular season? Didn't quite work out, did it? This loss takes a lot of pressure off the Panthers and allows some players that may be banged up to rest a little before the playoffs begin. Remember, they have a 1st round bye already. Also, they still have a chance to secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs with a win over Tampa Bay, at home. I know nothing is guaranteed, but the stars seem to be aligning. It would be much better if Kelvin Benjamin could contribute a little, but Cam is doing better than anyone expected with the squad he has. This has turned out to be a pretty exciting season and isn't over yet. Stay tuned.
Side Note: If you didn't see this catch, you played yourself! That boy Julio is a BEAST!
