History
The Saints lead the all-time series, 29 wins to 26. And they’ve captured that lead with a run of recent dominance—a stretch dating back to 2017 in which New Orleans has gone 9-2.
When these teams met at Bank of America Stadium last season, the Panthers did some dominating of their own en route to a 26-7 win. But the Saints would return serve later in 2021 with an 18-10 victory.
What to watch for
It may very well be do-or-time for head coach Matt Rhule, who now has this Panthers team off to an 0-2 start. Oh, and they’re also carrying around an NFL-worst nine-game losing streak.
For Carolina to upend New Orleans, they’ll have to get more consistency out of their offense. That starts at the top, with sharper play-calling from offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo and sharper play from quarterback Baker Mayfield—who has completed just 53.6 percent of his throws for 380 yards.
They’ll also have to create some takeaways on defense, something they hadn’t done in their previous five outings. Luckily for them, under center will be the turnover-prone Jameis Winston—who the Panthers picked off twice in that Week 2 tilt from last season.
