This game is a NFC South showdown which is an important divisional matchup as no one has been a clear favorite to win the division. Both the Panthers and Falcons come off a loss in week 9.

The Falcons (4-5) are tied with the Tampa bay buccaneers for first place in the NFC south. In week 9 the falcons were off to a good start and held a 10-0 lead at one point against the Los Angeles Chargers. Ultimately the Falcons fell short and lost 20-17 on the final play of the game to the chargers. The Falcons were able to compete with a competitive Chargers team and they’ll look to beat a struggling Panthers team. Marcus Mariota and the Falcons will look to sweep the Panthers this season as they beat the Panthers a couple weeks ago in an overtime showdown. The Falcons offense will want to do more of the same when they face the Panthers in the first matchup. With Cordarrelle Patterson back in the starting lineup, running the ball will be a key to a victory for this Falcons team. Atlanta will have to win this game to stay in the race for first place in the NFC south.

The Panthers now (2-7) were blown out 42-21 by the Cincinnati Bengals. At one point the Panthers were down 35-0 at halftime against the Bengals.

Mayfield had two passing touchdowns along with 155 yards through the air in the second half. The Panthers defense has allowed an average of 25 points per game against opposing teams, the panthers defense has struggled to keep opposing offenses off the field. With Christian McCaffrey gone D’Onta Foreman will carry the rushing workload for the Panthers he has 296 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the season. The Panthers will look to improve to (3-7) and at least try to keep up with their division as the Buccaneers, the leaders of the division only have 4 victories on the season.

This NFC South showdown will be an interesting matchup as the Falcons will try to take the lead of the division with a victory and a season sweep against the Panthers. And as for the Panthers they’ll look to spoil their divisional rivals chances of taking the lead in the NFC south.

by Angel Ortiz | Nov 2, 2022 | Featured, Sneaker Releases, Sneakers

The highly anticipated Air Jordan 1 High “Lost & Found” is finally releasing on November 19th. We’ve seen many iterations of the “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 throughout the years but this time around we are getting a “vintage” look to them.

The inspiration behind the Air Jordan 1 “Lost & found” was finding a pair of “Chicago” Jordan 1s in the basement or storage of a mom and pop shop. Many people have kept their 1985 “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 Highs brand new but overtime the leather has cracked and given it a vintage look which was what inspired this “Lost & Found” pair to release. On the Air Jordan 1 “Lost & Found” the leather on the collar, mid-panel, and toe is cracked giving it a vintage look, it also comes with a dusted finish on the outsole. The shape of the “Lost & Found” pair is not its original shape from 1985 but it does resemble the shape of the 2015 “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 High OG.

Look for the Air Jordan 1 High “Lost & Found” to release on November 19th in full family sizing at select retailers and on the Nike SNKRS app.
