Biggest storylines for Panthers vs. Falcons in Week 2
QB Bryce Young's past success in Atlanta leads our top storylines for Sunday's matchup between the Panthers and Falcons.
The Carolina Panthers faced off against the Chicago Bears in their Week 1 opener, resulting in a 59-37 loss. Despite the setback, the Panthers put on an entertaining display, providing a taste of what fans can expect from them in their upcoming Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Quarterback Bryce Young, who has had success in Atlanta in previous seasons, will be leading the Panthers on their road trip.
Wide receiver Jalen Coker, who had a breakout performance in the first game, may be the team's new top receiver. The defense, under the guidance of Ejiro Evero, struggled in the first game, allowing 552 total yards and eight touchdowns, including a high success rate on third downs. However, the Panthers will be facing a different offensive challenge this week, as the Falcons will rely on veteran Cooper Rush and running back Bijan Robinson, who has been explosive against the Panthers in recent games.
