Live updates: Panthers vs Falcons

Miles Sanders ends it.

Of course.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

Panthers get the ball first in OT.

Bryce can end it.

Meanwhile, the Bucs are going to beat the Saints, so the Falcons can't make the playoffs, regardless.

Bryce Young scrambles for another touchdown. Eyeball emoji.

They're up 38-31 with 4:01 left in the game.

This is not the same team, or the same Bryce Young, we saw in September.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

We're all tied up at 31 in Atlanta with just under 10 minutes to play. This shaping up to be a good one.

Incoom has been cleared to return.

Bryce to David Moore for the touchdown.

The kid is dealing today.

Thrown for three touchdowns, ran for one.

A huge tackle from Bartholomew then a sack from Clowney pushes Falcons into 3rd-and-long.

They try a 52-yard field goal and it's wide right.

Still 24-all with 6:13 to play in 3Q

Turning around to celebrate before Tommy catches it is some Steph Curry action. https://t.co/4OEd098Nat

On 4th-and-1, Panthers line up like it's a run, then boot out Bryce, he has a wide open Tremble for the TD.

Heck of a block from the rookie JT Sanders on Matthew Judon to keep Young clean.

Tied 24-all

The Mike Jack INT huge after Panthers first drive of the half went nowhere

DE A'Shawn Robinson and CB Akayleb Evans have been downgraded to out for the rest of the game.

Falcons tie it up again, Bijan Robinson TD.

17-17, we've got a shootout on our hands.

Falcons also have 102 rushing yards and two touchdowns with 1:34 left in the first half.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

A'Shawn Robinson (calf), questionable.

Bryce to Miles Sanders for 33 and the touchdown.

Eyeball emoji.

Panthers 17-10.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

Insult to injury, A'Shawn Robinson gets an unnecessary roughness penalty on the PAT.

— Kassidy Hill (@KassidyGHill) January 5, 2025

Akayleb Evans, who was starting for Jaycee Horn, still down on the field.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

Bryce for the score!

Bryce Young with an impressive drive and Legette with a couple of good plays to help move the chains twice. Young caps it, escaping pressure and running the 2-yard touchdown in himself.

10:47 to go in half

— Kassidy Hill (@KassidyGHill) January 5, 2025

And then Bryce slithers out of trouble and runs for a touchdown.

Panthers 10-3.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

Excellent hands by XL on that one. A high pass, and he went up and got it.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

Wooten has been cleared to return after that concussion check.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

Chandler Wooten being evaluated for concussion. Booth called that one down.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

Clowney drills Penix as he's throwing on fourth down.

Ball incomplete. Good stop.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

LB Chandler Wooten shaken up on last play. Cam Gill will come in for him for now.

— Kassidy Hill (@KassidyGHill) January 5, 2025

LB Chandler Wooten down on the field after that play.

They're not deep there.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

Legette back on the field. Panthers get on the board with a 35-yard field goal by Eddy Piñeiro.

3-3.

Thielen!

— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) January 5, 2025

Bryce with a rainbow down the right sideline that Thilen brings in for his standard highlight catch.

Corner AJ Terrell Jr. had to just give Thielen a good job pat on the shoulder after that one. Just have to respect it.

— Kassidy Hill (@KassidyGHill) January 5, 2025

Third and Thielen, again.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

Xavier Legette slow to get up after catching first pass.

Took a shot square in the back.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) January 5, 2025

Panthers hold Falcons to a FG in the red zone. Looked like Xavier Woods got a hand on a pass to the end zone, knocked it off the rope.

Today's results will also impact 2025 opponents, 14 of which are already locked in.

Panthers could actually get to the 3rd place schedule with a win and a Saints loss (they currently have a slight edge on the fifth tiebreaker, strength of victory, which could change).

By appearing in his 260th game, JJ Jansen moves into a tie for 41st place on the all-times games played list, with LS Don Muhlbach and K Nick Lowery.

He and Muhlbach are tied for second among long snappers all-time, trailing only Trey Junkin (281).
