1st Quarter
RECAP: The Panthers fall behind 7-0 as the Falcons get a big touchdown run from Warrick Dunn. The Panthers are trying like heck to establish the run and having some success doing so as DeShaun Foster has 33 yards.
BIG PLAY: The Panthers were completely fooled on a draw play on third-and-3 and Dunn took it 30 yards to the house for a touchdown. Only one Carolina defender got a hand on Dunn.
BIG MISTAKE: WR Drew Carter dropped a pass on second-and-5 that would have moved the chains. On the next play, QB Vinny Testaverde threw short of WR Steve Smith and the Panthers were forced to punt.
COMMENT: Carolina LB Thomas Davis knocks out starting QB Joey Harrington and backup Chris Redman comes into to complete a first down pass on third-and-8. Harrington returns on the next play.
SCORE: Atlanta 7, Carolina 0
