For the second time in as many seasons, the Falcons and Panthers will meet on a prime time ESPN game in December. Last season, Michael Vick made his first start of 2003 in that contest and finished 16-of-33 for 179 yards passing and had 14 rushing attempts for 141 yards. Vick accounted for 320 of the Falcons' 380 total yards in offense in a 20-14 overtime win.
The Panthers are also on a roll.

Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers remembers his team's loss to the Atlanta Falcons on October 3 all too well. It came at a time when new players were still learning head coach John Fox's system. And it came before the Panthers started riding Peppers and a wave of turnovers to five consecutive wins. The team looks to continue that momentum Saturday night.
Falcons 13 - Panthers 28!
We'll be watching that game!
