The Atlanta Falcons are one of three undefeated teams in the NFL, and they'll look to preserve that perfect record when they take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 4.

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has played well in 2012, and with him leading the charge, the Falcons have looked like one of the league's best teams. They rolled past the previously undefeated San Diego Chargers on Sunday, and Ryan threw for 275 yards and three scores in the process.

The Panthers, meanwhile, are off to a 1-2 start and could really use a bit of positive momentum. Quarterback Cam Newton hasn't been particularly sharp so far, as he's thrown five interceptions and just two touchdowns.

Game Time & Date: 1 p.m. ET, Sunday

TV: FOX
