NFL sets date for Falcons’ Week 15 game vs. Panthers

The NFL finalized its Week 15 flex schedule on Thursday and the Atlanta Falcons will not be playing in prime time. Instead, they will take on the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, December 17 at 1:00 p.m. ET.

It’s not exactly a surprise to see the Falcons get passed over for the flex schedule and the fact that the game is against the 1-10 Carolina Panthers probably didn’t help things.

Carolina has lost four straight games and fired head coach Frank Reich this past week. Meanwhile, Atlanta leads the NFC South with just a 5-6 record.

The Falcons will look for their second straight win when they take on the New York Jets in Week 13.
