Quick Take: Falcons can further ground Panthers

NFL.com and NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport has his thoughts on the game:

Why this game is intriguing: Any chance to watch Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan continue torching the league should be seized upon. And the fact that the Panthers haven't tackled in a few games has to make Ryan's guys salivate. A real chance to go to 4-0 and take a (gulp) three-game lead in the division for Atlanta. It's everything they hoped for after an offseason of offensive soul-searching.

What to watch: The Cam Newton honeymoon has ended in Carolina. The star quarterback is being scrutinized like never before, both for his play and his attitude. And that Superman-style touchdown celebration with his team down several scores against the Giants wasn't a great move. Can he respond? Against the high-flying Falcons, scrutiny will continue.
