ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers essentially split the two halves, forcing their Week 11 rematch to go into overtime. It was the second straight game in which Atlanta went to overtime, becoming the only team in the league to do so this season. Once there, the Falcons lost Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Final score: 30-27
Why it's important: The Falcons extend their losing streak to five games, and their chances of making the playoffs drop to less than 1%, according to the New York Times’ simulator
Key takeaway: The Falcons looked like the team they want to be in the first half. However, their inconsistencies flared in the second half, returning them to the team they have been lately. Atlanta wanted to flip the script in Week 11, and it couldn't fully do so.
