The NFC South title wasn't the only thing that was settled for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon.
Today's 19-17 win by the Atlanta Falcons secured the Panthers their first division title since 2015 and their first playoff berth since 2017. Atlanta's victory over the New Orleans Saints also finalized Carolina's opponents for the 2026 campaign.
Now that the Panthers have locked up first place in the NFC South, they'll be locked into the three matchups that were waiting to be determined by divisional placement. Those contests will see Carolina line up with the division winners from the NFC East ( Philadelphia Eagles ), NFC West ( Seattle Seahawks ) and AFC West ( Denver Broncos ).
