If no one saw the game, does it still count as a loss for the Atlanta Falcons?
In front of no one at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday, Eddy Pineiro kicked a 23-yard field goal as time ran out to give the Carolina Panthers a 9-7 win over the Falcons.

The game was played in soggy Charlotte and somehow, Bryce Young led a 17-play, 90-yard drive to end the game.
The Panthers, who currently sit in the first slot in the 2024 NFL draft but have dealt that to the Chicago Bears, had 283 yards of total offense, 90 on the final drive.
The Falcons came up empty in falling to 6-8. They wound up with 204 total yards, 52 on the ground in 31 attempts.
