Charlotte, CAR: In einem Spiel, das zeitweise beinahe überraschend ausgeglichen wirkte, nahmen die Atlanta Falcons am Ende einen 38:20-Sieg aus dem Bank of America Stadium mit nach Hause. Das Team steht nach dem "Battle of the South" mit 3-0 Siegen weiterhin an der Spitze der NFC South.
- Viertel
Das Spiel startete für beide Teams jeweils mit einem Three-and-Out, bevor es die Panthers waren, die mit einem Touchdown durch einen Pass über zehn Yards von Quarterback Andy Dalton auf Wide Receiver Diontae Johnson die ersten Punkte aufs Board brachten (0:7). Ein mehr als glücklicher Touchdown für das Team aus Charlotte, das bereits vorher beinahe durch eine Interception, abgefangen durch Safety Jessie Bates III, den Ballbesitz verloren hätte. Eine Offside-Strafe der durch Outside Linebacker Matthew Judon machte den gewünschten Turnover jedoch wieder zunichte. Den Touchdown ließ Atalanta allerdings nicht unbeantwortet, sondern das Team schlug direkt im nächsten Drive zu, als Running Back Bijan Robinson nach einem 5-Yard-Lauf in die Endzone gelangte und knapp eine Minute vor dem Ende des ersten Viertels den Ausgleich aufs Scoreboard zauberte (7:7).
ENDE 1. VIERTEL: Falcons 7, Panthers 7
- Viertel
Der noch im ersten Viertel begonnene Drive der Panthers endete erneut in einem Three-and-Out. Es war an der Zeit für Atlanta, die Flügel im Bank of America Stadium noch ein wenig mehr auszubreiten. Doch ein vollständiger Pass über acht Yards von Signal Caller Kirk Cousins auf Wide Receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III führte nur kurz darauf zu einem Forced Fumble durch Linebacker Trevin Wallace, der den Ball eroberte und die Offensive der Panthers nach einer erfolgreichen Challenge zurück aufs Feld brachte. Carolina machte sich den Vorteil zunutze und gelangte zwar nicht in die Endzone, ging jedoch nach einem erfolgreichen Field Goal durch Kicker Eddy Pineiro mit drei Punkten in Führung (7:10). Die Führung hielt jedoch nicht lange an. In nur fünf Spielzügen über insgesamt 76 Yards arbeiteten sich die Falcons über das Feld und erzielten den Touchdown zur Führung. Nach einer fulminanten 52-Yard-Reception von Tight End Kyle Pitts war es wieder Robinson, der den Ball nach einem Lauf über sieben Yards über den Boden in die Endzone trug. Damit stellte dieser zugleich einen persönlichen Rekord auf, handelte es sich um das erste Spiel in Robinsons Profi-Karriere, in dem er zwei Rushing Touchdowns in einem Spiel erzielte.
Der Cornerback der Panthers, Chau Smith-Wade, wurde für einen niedrigen Block beim Scoring Play wegen unnötiger Härte bestraft. Ein Glückstreffer für die Falcons. Denn Head Coach Raheem Morris entschied, die Strafe zu nutzen und dadurch von der 1-Yard-Linie für zwei Punkte zu gehen. Running Back Tyler Allgeier setzte sich bis in die Endzone durch und bestätigte damit die Richtigkeit dieses Versuchs (15:10). Nach einem weiteren Three-and-Out durch die schwarzen Raubkatzen aus North Carolina, gelang es Atlanta kurz vor der Halbzeitpause erneut, in die Endzone zu gelangen und die Führung weiter auszubauen. Wide Receiver Drake London gelang nach einem gefangenen Pass über drei Yards in die Endzone (22:10). Mit weniger als zwei Minuten auf der Uhr wollte man selbstsicher mit einer soliden Führung in die Halbzeitpause gehen. Doch die Falcons waren kurz unvorsichtig und ermöglichten einen Touchdown der Panthers durch Rookie-Wide-Receiver Xavier Legette (22:17).
HALBZEIT: Falcons 22, Panthers 17
- Viertel
Atlanta eröffnete sodann die zweite Hälfte des Spiels mit Ballbesitz. Das Team arbeitete sich in elf Spielzügen über 67 Yards über das Spielfeld, wo die Defense die Panthers Tyler Allgeier an der 3-Yard-Linie stoppen konnte und Atalanta dazu zwang, Kicker Younghoe Koo aufs Feld zu schicken. Diesem gelang sodann problemlos ein Field Goal über 21 Yards (25:17). Auch Carolina gelang im nächsten Drive in elf Spielzügen ein Durchmarsch über 48 Yards, bevor wieder Pineiro gefragt war, der mit einem Field Goal über 41 Yards auf 25:20 verkürzte.
Doch Atlanta wollte den Sieg, um die Führung in der NFC South zu behalten und im Battle of the South ungeschlagen zu bleiben. Die Falcons schafftes es im nächsten Drive bis in die Redzone von Carolina, verpassten aber erneut die Chance auf einen Touchdown. Ähnlich wie die Panthers bei ihrem vorangegangenen Drive gerieten die Falcons nach einer Strafe gegen Right Guard Chris Lindstrom für ein First-Down-Holding hinter die so wichtigen Ketten der First-Down-Markierung. Koo erzielte ein weiteres Field Goal über 31 Yards, um die Führung der Falcons auf acht Punkte auszubauen (28:20).
ENDE 3. VIERTEL: Falcons 28, Panthers 20
- Viertel
Zu Beginn des letzten Viertels kam der Running Back der Panthers, Chuba Hubbard, in Fahrt, legte insgesamt 34 Yards in vier Carries zurück. Ein Pass über 12 Yards auf Johnson und ein Lauf über zwei Yards – erneut durch Hubbard – brachten die Panthers in die Situation, das Spiel weiter spannend halten zu können. In einem Versuch durch Ballwerfer Dalton, den Ball tief über das Feld auf Tight End Ian Thomas zu werfen, war jedoch Cornerback A.J. Terrell zur Stelle und fing den Ball zum ersten Mal seit Woche 17 in der Saison 2021 ab. Ballbesitzwechsel und Zeit für Atlanta, das Spiel für sich zu entscheiden. Denn die Falcons verwandelten den Turnover in neun Spielzügen für 84 Yards in einen Touchdown durch Allgeier (35:20). Für die Panthers reichte es anschließend nach vier Spielzügen und gerade einmal sechs Yards Raumgewinn nur für einen Turnover on Downs.
Die Falcons bauten ihre Führung um drei Punkte aus, als Koo das letzte Field Goal des Spiels über 35 Yards erzielte (38:20). Der Scoring Drive dauerte sechs Spielzüge für 19 Yards. Allgeier lief in jedem Spielzug den Ball und erzielte dabei zwei Läufe über 8 Yards. Beim Kick-Off der Falcons waren noch zwei Minuten und 15 Sekunden auf der Uhr, sodass den Panthers nicht mehr viel Zeit blieb, um den Vorsprung der Falcons zu verkürzen. Cornerback Clark Phillips III sorgte dafür, dass Atlanta die Führung und am Ende der kostbare Sieg erhalten blieb, indem er im zweiten Spielzug des letzten Drives der Panthers eine Interception von Dalton fing. Phillips trug den Pick 45 Yards weit zurück. Es sah so aus, als hätte er punkten können, aber er entschied sich dafür, an der 6-Yard-Linie zu Boden zu gehen, damit die Offense die Uhr auslaufen lassen konnte.=
ENDSTAND: Falcons 38, Panthers 20
"Du wirfst den Ball, um zu punkten. Du läufst den Ball, um zu gewinnen", sagte Kirk Cousins nach dem Spiel. Alles scheint, als hätte sich die Offensive der Falcons wirklich gefunden und man insbesondere das Laufspiel in Gang gebracht. Daran will das Team bereits am kommenden Sonntag (20. Oktober 2024, 19:00 Uhr) anknüpfen, wenn es die Seattle Seahawks (3-3) im Mercedes-Benz-Stadium empfängt.
