The Carolina Panthers have put a damper on the Atlanta Falcons in the fight for the NFL playoffs.

With the 15:25, the Falcons lost the lead in the weak NFC South, which Tom Brady can now take over and consolidate with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the football game in Munich on Sunday (3:30 p.m.) against the Seattle Seahawks.

With four wins and six losses, the Falcons are now second in the division, where every team is negative at least through Sunday. Only the winners are guaranteed a place in the playoffs, the other three teams compete with teams from other divisions.

The Panthers, who also play in the NFC South, now have three wins of the season with seven losses and after a little more than half of the main round only have theoretical chances of a playoff spot.
