The Falcons couldn't slow down CMC and T.Tagovailoa was super efficient in the Panthers 45-28 victory in MBS in Week 7.

Tua was 20-22 for 201 yards & 1td which was balanced enough to keep the Falcons defense off guard while CMC amassed 172 yards and 4 tds on 31 carries.

Falcons defense did a decent job on CMC early, but it's hard to keep him down for an entire game.  Eventually he was able to break threw.

Meanwhile, the Panthers defense made it difficult for the Dirty Birds getting 2 sacks and 2 interceptions, preventing the Falcons from getting any real momentum on offense.

The only bright side for the Falcons was that CB AJ Terrell scored on defense for the 2nd week in a row.  This time, it was a scoop and score on a fumble caused by SS K Cone, which at the time, gave the Falcons a 14-7 lead.

Next up for the Falcons, the 1-6 Texans.  So they are in a must win situation if they intend to keep pace with the rest of the division to get into the playoff hunt.
