Birds on a mission
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Short and sweet, folks.
The Panthers hammered Atlanta earlier this season but they haven’t been consistent since.
Despite Carolina’s struggles in Atlanta, are the Falcons’ shortcomings and Carolina’s need to win this game to get in the playoffs too much for the Falcons to overcome?
Or is this one of those games, where, if the Falcons keep it close, Carolina might get a little tight and have their season come to an end at the hands of the Birds?
After watching the Falcons practice all week with a carefree abandon, I feel Atlanta is going to compete like a team on a mission. Is that enough? I don’t know, but it should be an entertaining season finale.
