The Falcons just can't solve the riddle that is the Panthers as they were defeated again in Week 9 30-9.

As soon as they thinking they are doing a good job containing CMC, he goes for 60. The Falcons "held" him to 115 rushing, but he still found the endzone twice and was help the Panthers maintain just enough balance to keep the Falcons defense at bay.

Speaking of defense, it was the Panthers defense that was the real story.  The picked off Jimmy G 5 times twarting any chance for the Falcons to get any offensive momentum going.

Bright side is the CB AJ Terrell continues to shine as he added another interception to his trophy case.  SS K Cone also has an interception and new addition to the team this season DT A Billings had a strip sack fumble.

Bad news is future HOF WR J Jones went out early in the game and will be lost for 6 weeks minimum.  Depending on how the season goes from here will determine whether they rush him back, let him fully heal before reactiviting him or shut him down for the rest of the year.  At 34, he's no spring chicken.

Next up for the Falcons, they will face the Bears in Week 10 and with no J Jones, R Gage and D Staley will have to step up along side C Ridley.
