Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton had not one, but two unfortunately-timed interceptions in yesterday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

The first was much more consequential to the football game itself, as Dalton all but crushed his team's hopes at a comeback early in the fourth quarter. With the Panthers down 28-20 from the Falcons' 28-yard line, the 14th-year veteran tried to squeeze a second-down pass in to tight end Ian Thomas—only to be picked off by cornerback A.J. Terrell.

The second was actually quite funny.

With the outcome pretty much wrapped up at the 1:55 mark of the fourth quarter, FOX play-by-play commentator Chris Myers asked analyst Mark Sanchez for his thoughts on the future of benched second-year quarterback Bryce Young. And right when Sanchez sets up a compliment for Dalton, the 36-year-old gets jumped for his second turnover . . .

Dalton finished the 38-20 defeat with 221 passing yards, two touchdowns and the pair of picks.
