Koo makes from 41 yards. Falcons defeat the Panthers 37-34 in overtime.

Eddy Piñeiro missed.

Unreal.

This game may never die.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

CJ Henderson with the pick.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

And that's the end of regulation.

Free football in Georgia.

there isn't a caption good enough for this play 🤯 💫 pic.twitter.com/fczyiBTtkI

— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) October 30, 2022

This is insane.

DJ Moore redemption, and with PJ Walker, a guy DJ has believed in since training camp, throwing him a 62-yarder when they needed it most.

Hard to make up something sweeter.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

PJ Walker just launched a 62-yard bomb to DJ Moore with 12 seconds left.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

Needed some heroics on fourth-and-17, and the chance hit DJ Moore in the hands. But it didn't connect, and the Falcons take over deep in Panthers territory with very little time left.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

And there's a real quick Atlanta TD. 47-yd Mariota to Byrd finishes a four-play, 75-yd drive.

Falcons take the lead again, but the Panthers have 2:14 left to do something

Wait, a D'Onta Foreman TD rush?

Again?

Starting to think this guy's a dawg...

CAR 28, ATL 24 | 3:06 4Q

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

D'Onta Foreman.

Of course.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

Terrace Marshall Jr. just erased some ugly Panthers penalties and made Carolina's longest play of the day

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

PJ to DJ!! Keeps it interesting!

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

Two chunk plays, a 30-yd run from Huntley and a 33-yd Pitts play, helps set up Koo's 30-yd field goal, retaking the lead for Atlanta

ATL 24, CAR 21 | 7:33 4Q

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

Kyle Pitts wiggled away from some of the Panthers' best defenders there (Donte Jackson, Xavier Woods), and he brings the Falcons into the red zone

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

Juston Burris will not return (concussion).

Myles Hartsfield was evaluated for a concussion, cleared to return.

D'Onta Foreman TD run with some drama... That drive went all the way to fourth down at the 1.

Panthers then go for 2, down 2, and tie it up. It was, of course, a D'Onta Foreman rush.

Foreman has 98 yds and two TDs on 19 carries.

CAR 21, ATL 21 | 11:46

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

Foreman scores the two-point conversion, and we're tied at 21-21 with 11:46 left in the game.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

D'Onta Foreman scores a touchdown on fourth-and-goal attempt.

Panthers are lining up for the two-point conversion.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

PJ ends the third quarter with a 29-yard strike to DJ Moore.

You never really know what you're going to get.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

He's walking to the locker room as we speak.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

Between Kyle Pitts, Drake London, and Tyler Allgeier, the Panthers just didn't have many answers for whatever Atlanta wanted to do there.

Panthers are without Jeremy Chinn and lost Juston Burris during the drive to the injury tent.

ATL 21, CAR 13 | 1:40 3Q

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

Sean Chandler in for Burris on defense.

You miss Jeremy Chinn anyway, but against a team with Kyle Pitts on it, that's a problem.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

Juston Burris in the blue tent.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

Two penalties along the offensive line (Ekwonu, Corbett) sunk that last drive before it could ever get going. Panthers remain down by 1, and the defense is coming back out again

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

Piñeiro good from 42 yards out.

Falcons 14, Panthers 13

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

Just the second catch of Stephen Sullivan's career. 33 yards was a career long

— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) October 30, 2022

Panthers' longest play of the day goes to Stephen Sullivan, who had only tallied one reception before today. Because of course!

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

PJ ain't scared (though sometimes he ought to be). Comes out throwing in the second half, hits Stephen Sullivan for a 33-yard gain.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

PJ Walker, like this season, contains multitudes.

He's 6-of-15 for 67 yards with a pick at half (26.2 rating).

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

Half: ATL 14, CAR 10

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

Walker throws a pick-six in the final minute of the half.

Lorenzo Carter got on the screen pass.

Falcons take a 14-10 lead.

— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) October 30, 2022

D'Onta Foreman punches it in on third-and-goal for the Carolina touchdown.

Lots of good there for the Panthers offensively. A long drive, some real improvement from PJ Walker, and retaking the lead.

12 plays, 75 yds, 5:22.

CAR 10, ATL 7 | 4:51 2Q

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

10 carries for 50 yards and a TD for Foreman in first half

— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) October 30, 2022

PJ's playing a little risky but it's paying off this drive. 20-yard ball to DJ Moore adds to an efficient Panthers drive into the red zone

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

PJ to TMJ for 27... connection came on third down, the Panthers' first third down conversion today. They're now 1-of-4.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

Walker finds Terrace Marshall for 27 yards, their longest completion of the day (by far).

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

And if we're starting TOP watch... early in the 2nd quarter:

ATL 13:57, 23 plays
CAR 5:50, 13 plays https://t.co/Hiw8Yi2LWK

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

Stephon Gilmore/Jeremy Chinn helped Panthers hold Kyle Pitts to a combined seven catches and 74 yards last year.
So far today, he has three catches for 38 yards and a score.

— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) October 30, 2022

Falcons, for some reason choosing to pass, move the ball down field.

Mariota hit Kyle Pitts for a 26-yard gain, and eventually a 2-yard touchdown pass.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

First quarter ends with a Kyle Pitts sighting, his first catch on third target of the day

Falcons are averaging 3.0 yards per play, Panthers at 2.5

It's not beautiful out here

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

End of the first quarter, Falcons and Panthers have combined for 11 net passing yards.

This is the spiritual heir of the 2006 game.

Donte Jackson back on the field for the next defensive snap, for those concerned about his condition.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

Donte emerges from the tent, on his feet on the sidelines.

He gets his ankles taped and re-taped a lot. And he keeps bouncing back.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

A few minutes later, they now combine for minus-4 passing yards

Calculating today's pass totals is going to be like a trip back to 11th grade math https://t.co/HI6BAhleI1

Practice squad RB Spencer Brown got the ball on third-and-12, took it 7 yards and set up for the Eddy Piñeiro FG. He makes from 37 yards.

Carolina strikes first, with big thanks due to its defense and special teams.

CAR 3, ATL 0 | 6:50 1Q

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

The two teams have combined for minus-1 passing yard so far.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

1 INT, 2 sacks on six Atlanta plays so far

— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) October 30, 2022

The Falcons have run six plays from scrimmage so far, but back-to-back sacks have brought their net yardage to 0.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

Back-to-back sacks and a good return from Shi Smith (22 yards), Panthers take over at Falcons 37.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

Derrick Brown x YGM
Frankie Luvu

Back 2 back sacks ‼️ pic.twitter.com/Tj8bLVKXUG

HUGE Luvu sack on third down and the Falcons are gonna be punting from their end zone

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

Brown and YGM combine for a sack, and then Frankie Luvu follows with another on third down.

Early advantage in the Damiere Byrd revenge game goes to the Panthers.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

Donte Jackson intercepts Marcus Mariota on the game's second play from scrimmage.

It was a real deep one, so Panthers will set up at their own 20.

That's a way to set a tone.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 30, 2022

Donte Jackson picks off a Mariota deep ball on the second snap of the game.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

Panthers call heads, win the toss, defer.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 30, 2022

Bradley Bozeman among the coin toss captains today, along with Luvu, Jackson, and Brown.

Bozeman has quickly become a thing around here.
