The Falcons fell to the Panthers 34-3 on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and they didn’t look good doing it. Cooper Rush had a pair of interceptions and a lost fumble, and rookie Jack Strand, the No. 4 option at QB, had a pick-6 and a lost fumble.
One good thing is that it’s a short week, as the Falcons play the Packers on Thursday night at Lambeau Field.
