The Carolina Panthers delivered a dominant performance this weekend, shutting out the Atlanta Falcons 30-0 at home in Charlotte.

Quarterback Darian Mensah threw three touchdown passes, while running back Anderson Castle added three rushing touchdowns, including a pivotal 66-yard run late in the game. The Blue Devils also capitalized on turnovers, forcing four, including three interceptions and a fumble, and added a blocked field goal. NC State's offense was potent, accumulating 535 yards, with quarterback CJ Bailey passing for a career-high 364 yards and two touchdowns. However, four turnovers, a missed extra point, and a blocked field goal proved costly, ultimately leading to their first loss of the season.
