Falcons Vs. Panthers: Matt Ryan Leads 16-Point Comeback As Atlanta Wins 31-23

The touchdown also gave the Falcons 24 unanswered points, allowing them to erase a 23-7 deficit. The touchdown was Jones’ second of the game on just his third catch. Jones currently has a tidy line of three catches, 104 yards and two touchdowns. The touchdown was also Matt Ryan’s fourth of the game.

Just a week ago, the Falcons had won 5 of 6 and looked to be a contender. After Olsen’s touchdown, they find themselves looking at a second straight loss.

Olsen didn’t have to do anything special on this one either. He broke a couple tackles, but nothing spectacular and just kinda jogged into the end zone.

It was Williams third touchdown in as many weeks, after he scored two touchdowns two weeks ago. On this one, it was pretty simple. Williams took a handoff, followed his blockers and then turned on the speed. He was barely touched as he worked his way down the sidelines.

It was Newton’s 14th touchdown throw of the season. That’s significant if for no other reason than it gives him an equal number of touchdown throws as interceptions.

The picks and predictions are split on the Falcons advancing past the Panthers and, as SB Nation’s Andrew Sharp notes in his Week 14 NFL picks, it comes down to one player suiting up for Carolina.

Cam Newton could obviously put a wrinkle in things due to his dynamic abilities from the quarterback position, as Sharp opines, and Sports Illustrated’s Peter King sees things happening in a similar fashion.
