🚨The #Falcons season may be over before it officially ends if this is confirmed. From ESPNs Adam Schefter: ESPN sources: Falcons QB Michael Penix suffered a potentially season-ending knee injury during Sunday’s loss to the Panthers. Penix will be seeking a second opinion, but it is not encouraging.

#Falcons underwhelm yet again, fall to Panthers 30-27 OT. open.substack.com/pub/northsid...

Panthers win third straight game against #Falcons 27-30. Falcons now lose 5 consecutive games, fall 3-7. Game review tonight.

Game over. #Falcons

#Falcons go three and out. Sudden death. Next score wins.

Who catches that ball from that Carolina kick? Not Natrone Brooks, but Freddie Falcon. Another error from Ryan Neuzil. Pitts drops. This isn't working. #Falcons

Back to overtime for the second consecutive game. Carolina wins the toss and will kick.

Gonzalez kicks another successful FG to possibly extend the game. #Falcons

Agnew brings it to mid field. #Falcons

TD Panthers. Going for 2. Successful. #Falcons can only send to overtime with FG.

#Falcons defense folds. Rico Dowdle rushing TD comes to nothing as Dowdle stepped out of bounds. Defense must save this game again.

Gonzalez kicks a 52 yarder through the goal posts and the #Falcons lead is 5. Defense once again has to hold back CAR's offense.

#Falcons defense saves the team's asses again. Young is hurt, so both quarterbacks are likely out for the rest of this game. Falcons offense needs to get their act together and score.

The #Falcons were leading in TOP, but the Panthers have been on the field so much that they now lead (29:08) over the Falcons (25:17). The Falcons still have not scored since the 2nd qtr.

Major pass interference call miss. It would have been a good time for Morris to challenge, but doesn't. Another 3 and out for #Falcons. Looking more and more like another lost game for the Falcons.

Ronnie Harrison takes care of business with Young takedown. #Falcons

Panthers smell blood and going in for the kill. Already midfield. #Falcons

It really doesn't make any sense why there are no changes in the #Falcons offensive play calling. Fan's patience is really being tried with these quick 3 and outs.

#Falcons 3 and out. Again.

On to the 4th qtr. with Kirk Cousins throwing and #Falcons facing 3rd down situation. They are 3/5 on 3rd D's. They need to make this one to continue the drive.

Panthers inching closer to #Falcons with FG after a drive that could have been a TD if Terrell hadn't broken it up. ATL leads 21-19. Cousins likely to be tossing the ball from here on out since Penix Jr. is questionable with knee injury.

Penix Jr. is questionable. #Falcons have not scored since 1:41 in the 2nd qtr.

Penix is going to the blue injury tent. Cousins time? #Falcons

Trouble: Penix's leg got wrapped up on that tackle, and #Falcons go 3 and out on that drive.

Drake London: 6 receptions for 113 yards so far. #Falcons

The #Falcons are very lucky to have a defense that pulls them out of messes like that. They need to stop pressing their luck.

#Falcons special teams (Brooks) fumbles the ball and Panthers get ball back at 32 yard line. Falcons are swinging back to mediocrity again.

#Falcons give up an easy play and Panthers score on a Young throw. 2pt conversion fails thanks to Pierce Jr. Young tackle. ATL leads 21-16.

Bijan Robinson has passed former QB Michael Vick for the 9th most rushing yards in #Falcons franchise history.

On to Halftime with the #Falcons looking the best they've looked in weeks. 21-10 ATL leads. Penix Jr.: 163 yrds 11/12 Robinson: 78 RY, 15 CAR 2TD London: 108 Rec Yds, 5 Rec Bates III 6 T's Total Yds 242 ATL, 141 CAR 3D's 2/3 TOP 16:03 (13:48 CAR)

Darnell Mooney is questionable with a rib injury. #Falcons

FG for CAR. #Falcons lead 21-10.

#Falcons score their 3rd TD of the day thanks to Algeier, capping a 7 play 59 yrd drive. Falcons now lead 21-7. They are 2/3 in 3rd down cons.

The #CFB AP Poll is out. #Dawgs move up one to 4th, #YellowJackets at #15.

#Falcons defense makes that pay off handsomely.

Zane Robinson's kick is good, ATL 14-CAR 7. Bryce Young's return is questionable due to ankle injury, but he's back on the field, throwing. We'll see how this works.

Robinson makes short yardage to the endzone for second #Falcons touchdown of today. 12plays /94 yrds puts ATL in the lead. PA follows after injury timeout.

#Falcons finally convert on 3rd down with Penix to Mooney pass.

Double trouble with the #Falcons offense getting penalties.

Mooney caught a huge 20 yard play action pass. #Falcons

1st quarter ends with Robinson doing what he does best, moving the ball quickly. Tied 7-7. Robinson already has 33 rush yrds, Penix Jr. has 73 pass yards, and London, 71 rec yrds. #Falcons

Panthers QB Bryce Young walked off the field after that Billy Bowman sack. #Falcons get ball back at the 5 yard line. Agnew couldn't make the reciveing catch.

Bowman sack. Young may be hurt. Disregard that last post. #Falcons have not converted today.
