ATLANTA — The Panthers-Falcons winner-take-all game for the NFC South title is a strange affair. It's highly unusual for two teams with losing records to play for a division title on the final weekend of the regular season. The winner of Sunday's game between the Falcons (6-9) and Panthers (6-8-1) will become the NFL's first playoff team with a losing record since Seattle took a 7-9 record to the postseason in 2010.
