On our Panthers podcast, Processing Blue, we have a special segment called "Kayes Takes," where our lead Panthers writer, Mike Kaye, shares his expert analysis. Here are a few intriguing "Kaye's Stats" from his Twitter and other sources:

- Did you know that the Colts have a historically poor record of 0-4-1 in Week 1 games under head coach Frank Reich? However, today presents an opportunity for Reich to turn things around and secure his first Week 1 win. The Panthers' offense is also a mystery, and we can expect some surprises today.

- Keep an eye on Panthers pass rusher Justin Houston, who is just two sacks away from joining the prestigious Top 25 all-time list in the NFL. His performance could be a game-changer for the Panthers' defense.

- ESPN's Ed Werder shares an interesting stat about Bryce Young, the Falcons' quarterback. Historically, quarterbacks drafted first overall have struggled in their first career start, with a record of 0-13-1 over the past two decades. The last quarterback to defy this trend was David Carr in 2002, leading the Texans to victory in their inaugural game against the Cowboys.

Despite not having a new contract, Brian Burns is expected to take the field today. Our reporter, Alex Zietlow, confirms that Burns will be playing in Atlanta, adding another layer of excitement to the game.
