Rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will start for the Atlanta Falcons when the team takes on the Carolina Panthers this Sunday at home. Penix Jr. is making just his third start of the season, taking over for an injured Kirk Cousins, and he’ll be facing a Panthers line-up that’s missing several key starters due to injury, including cornerback Jaycee Horn. While the Panthers are out of playoff contention altogether, if the Falcons win on Sunday – and if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lose – they’ll clinch the NFC South title. Here’s all the info you need about today’s Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons game; you can also keep an eye on live game-day updates here.

Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna). A $7/month subscription to NFL+ will get you access to NFL Network which can be great for watching some games, but the downside of NFL+ is that when it comes to the regular season, it’s just local and primetime games (and only on mobile or tablet!). In which case, here’s what we recommend to watch the NFL.
Fubo TV gives you access to ESPN, NFL Network, Fox, ABC, CBS and 100+ more live channels. At $80/month, the live TV streaming service is definitely a big investment for football fans. But it offers nearly every channel you’ll need to watch the NFL season, and still leaves you with major savings compared to a traditional cable package. Fubo subscribers also get 1000 hours of cloud DVR storage.
The platform also offers a free trial period, so you can catch some games risk-free. Right now you can get $20 off any Fubo tier for your first month.
