Story summary

Cooper Rush started for the Atlanta Falcons in their Week 2 home game against the Carolina Panthers, despite ongoing injuries to backups Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa. On September 20, the Falcons faced a significant challenge as Rush struggled, throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble during the first half. The Falcons ultimately lost to the Panthers 34-3, with rookie undrafted player Jack Strand entering late but also making critical mistakes. The game showcased the Falcons' dire quarterback situation and poor overall performance, with the defense struggling similarly against Carolina's effective attack.
