Returns and debuts in Atlanta

CHARLOTTE – A win sure does make the road trip back home better! The Panthers snapped their four-game losing streak with a win in Atlanta, and there were a lot of big defensive moments caught on camera.

During the national anthem, I usually try to get shots where you can see players’ emotions. On Sunday, I tried focusing on Shaq Thompson because it was his first game back in the lineup but ended up getting a great shot of Matt Rhule’s dad, Denny. I thought it was a pretty cool moment because, in the foreground, you see coach Rhule. It was a nice father-son moment before the game.
