The Panthers just had by far their best drive of this game, taking the kickoff and going 80 yards in only 5 plays to cut Atlanta's lead to 17-10.
Steve Smith was the difference, shaking off those 2 first-half drops to sprint 41 yards on a deep ball from Delhomme early in the drive. Then, on 2nd-and-1 from the 27, Delhomme threw to Smith again. It was one of the twosome's favorite plays -- Delhomme purposely throws the ball a little behind Smith, at his back shoulder, on a sideline route.
The play was perfectly executed and Smith went 22 yards to the Atlanta 5. DeAngelo Williams scored on the next play, and suddenly the Panthers are within 7 at 17-10, with 12:21 left in the third quarter.

Looks like a better team...mixing up plays..
First procession of the second have looked like a new ball team... Now play the big "D"...
Most overrated 8-3 Team of all times.
My last week's comment said Panthers 9-7 this year. Don't know who they will beat now. Maybe N.O.in a last game salary drive?
More than Jake's elbow has been "tweaked" too.
Adam, you are so right. "Most overrated 8-3 team of all times".
Welcome aboard!
