Falcons Dale Zanine Caleb Huntley Brett Davis Atlanta (Organization) Carolina USA TODAY Sports

Six weeks after their 0-2 start, the Falcons defeated the Panthers to take first place in the NFC South. While the future is looking brighter than it has in years, Sunday’s 37-34 overtime victory was far from a signature win.
