In the fourth quarter, Atlanta replied with Turner getting a 4-yard TD run.  Carolina answered with QB Jake Delhomme getting a 12-yard TD run (followed up by Williams' 2-point conversion run), but the Falcons responded with Turner's 1-yard TD run, along with Douglas returning a punt 61 yards for a touchdown.  The Panthers tried to come back as Delhomme completed a 16-yard TD pass to WR Muhsin Muhammad.  However, Atlanta pulled away as Turner got a 16-yard TD run.
