Jaelan Phillips added to the pressure with a sack, while the secondary, anchored by A.J. Terrell Jr.'s interception for Atlanta, made key stops to limit scoring opportunities. The game turned in the second quarter when the Panthers scored back-to-back touchdowns, establishing a lead that the Falcons could not overcome.
