The Atlanta Falcons face the Carolina Panthers in Week 2 of the NFL season. After a disappointing Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Falcons need to diversify their offense, having targeted Bijan Robinson extensively while Kyle Pitts and Drake London had minimal involvement. Veteran quarterback Cooper Rush looks to improve his performance and needs to increase targets to Pitts and London if the Falcons are to avoid an 0-2 start. The game will take place on Sunday.
