The Falcons’ defense played its best game of the season, and even the home special teams stood up for a crucial moment late in Week 1 of the 2023 season. Below is a breakdown of every game recap for the 2023 season, broken down by each quarter.
Let’s begin with the coin toss, which Carolina won. The Panthers deferred to the 2nd half. Atlanta has the ball to begin the game. It wasn’t a great start for the Falcons. First, the ball was deflected by Ridder on his first pass of 2023. Ridder caught the airborne ball — ironically, Ridder caught the ball — but backed the Falcons up 6 yards.
Second, the Falcons lost 8 yards on the ground to start the drive. Third, Ridder was hit at the line to set up a 4th-and-1. It wasn’t until the 1:10 mark in the second quarter when Panthers quarterback and top draft pick, quarterback and safety, quarterback and Falcons safety, Jessie Bates III, snagged a 2nd-and-1 at the Panthers’ 16-yard line.
