Behind Enemy Lines is a weekly look at Tampa Bay’s NFC South foes every Tuesday. Let’s spy on the Bucs’ division rivals, shall we?

Atlanta Falcons

• The Falcons fell to 0-4 on Monday night after being whooped by the Packers at Lambeau Field 30-16.

“In my heart and in my head and everything that I believe in, I know that we can,” Quinn said following the loss. “I know that the second quarter of our season will look a lot different than our first. That’s, in fact, what I told the team. Nothing has been decided yet. We do have our first division game coming up here this weekend and we’re certainly looking forward to that.”

• Turning around the sinking ship got even more difficult as an already injury-ridden team absorbed more blows on Monday night.

Safety Damontae Kazee‘s year is done after suffering a foot injury in the loss to the Packers. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Kazee tore his Achilles and will miss the rest of the year as a result. Fellow safety Jaylinn Hawkins was also hurt on Monday night. The Falcons came into the game against Green Bay already down Ricardo Allen and Keanu Neal, who were ruled out on Saturday.

• With a banged-up secondary, AJC.com’s D. Orlando Ledbetter reported on Tuesday that Atlanta is set to sign safety J.J. Wilcox. Wilcox signed with the Falcons as a free agent last year, but missed the 2019 season with a torn ACL. He was one of the team’s cuts when the Falcons dropped to 53 players to start the season.

Carolina Panthers

• The Panthers, who were expected to be the bottom dwellers in the NFC South this year after a complete roster upheaval, got their second win of the season on Sunday, beating the favored Arizona Cardinals at home. Carolina has now won two in a row, and both games came without star running back Christian McCaffrey who is still nursing an ankle injury.

McCaffrey’s replacement, Mike Davis, now has more yards from scrimmage in the last two games than McCaffrey did in his first two. Were the Panthers smart to make McCaffrey the NFL’s highest paid running back this offseason? It is too early to say, but regardless, the Panthers are on a roll and one of the league’s surprise teams.

• The Panthers players said they could get used to this winning feeling after two straight victories following an 0-2 start.

New Orleans Saints

• There is a storm brewing in the Gulf of Mexico and forecasters have it tracking towards Louisiana with landfall sometime on Friday. While the track is not set it stone, without a dramatic and unpredicted shift, the New Orleans area is expected to feel an impact from Hurricane Delta, which could make landfall as a category 3 storm.

Jeff Duncan of TheAthletic.com is reporting that the Saints, who are scheduled to host the Colts on Monday night, might evacuate to Indianapolis following their practice on Thursday. The NFL may choose to have the game played in Indianapolis, Duncan reported.

• The Saints already understand the seriousness of COVID-19 as head coach Sean Payton tested positive for the virus last spring. The New Orleans area was also a major hotspot early on in the pandemic. Last weekend the Saints were holding their collective breath as fullback Michael Burton received a positive test result after flying to Detroit on Saturday. Fortunately for the Saints, the test was a false positive and no other tests came back positive and the game went on as planned.

Payton told ESPN he was proud of how his team handled the adversity and uncertainty all while trying to get ready to face the Lions.

“It’s just one of those games you’re proud of your team,” Payton said. “It’s [the nature of] this game — it’ll test you from an adversity standpoint. And I think this year is gonna be that way for a lot of us. New England’s gonna have to travel tomorrow, play a game tomorrow night. And quite honestly, no one really cares. And I mean that in a good way — there’s far more other things that are important that we’re suffering from than to hear about, ‘We were up ’til 1.’ That’s just the way it is this season. And so we have to understand that and then still be ready to play our best game.”
