The I-85 Rivalry is a rivalry between the Atlanta Falcons
and the Carolina Panthers
of the National Football League
. Both franchises have a combined eight divisional titles (seven as members of the same division) and two Super Bowl
appearances, with the Falcons appearing in Super Bowl XXXIII
and the Panthers appearing in Super Bowl XXXVIII
. The rivalry takes its name from Atlanta and Charlotte
(home of the Panthers) being only four to five hours apart on Interstate 85
.
The Panthers and Falcons have played each other twice a season every season since , as both members of the NFC West
and the NFC South
divisions. Their games have been marked by intensity, close scores, and remarkable performances.
In the National Basketball Association
, the moniker is used to refer to games played between the Atlanta Hawks
and Charlotte Bobcats
, who also enjoy an intense rivalry of their own; the Hawks were also onetime rivals of the Charlotte Hornets
from 1988 until 2002, when the Hornets relocated to New Orleans.
The rivalry largely mirrors the bitter rivalry between the cities of Charlotte and Atlanta.
