The 2-5 Carolina Panthers (somehow) have a chance to take first place in the NFC South this afternoon. And with that unbelievable opportunity ahead of them, their defense wasted little time trying to seize it.
On second play of the very first possession on the afternoon, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota tried to dial up a deep ball to wide receiver (and old friend) Damiere Byrd. But Carolina cornerback Donte Jackson, who went step for step with the speedy pass catcher, was right there to make the one-handed pick.
