Atlanta Falcons: Three toughest opponents in 2016
By Kit Anderson
3. Carolina Panthers
The Panthers are a scary team regardless of the absence of Josh Norman. They are hands down the early favorites not only for the division but possibly in the playoffs. That is how dominate of a team that they were last season losing only two games.
Don’t think for a second in Week 4 the Panthers will have forgotten the loss given to them in their bid for a perfect season. They will be looking to hand the Falcons a loss and have more than enough talent to do so. Cam Newton is a talented athlete capable of carrying his whole offense.
He has a strong backfield and maturing receivers that should keep the secondary on their toes all day. These two games will be two of the toughest the Falcons play all year not only because of the talent level on the field but because of the growing rivalry between two teams who both believe they can win their division this season.
Is it too much to hope to ask to see the Falcons win both of these games?
