Saints Can Deepen Panthers’ Three-Game Slide in New Orleans

Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Caesars Superdome gives both 3-5 teams a chance to gain ground in the NFC South; Carolina sits 21st in the power index, two spots ahead of New Orleans at 23rd. The Saints are coming off a 23-22 win over Cleveland and have won two of their last three, while the Panthers have lost three straight. Carolina averages 280.5 passing yards per game, with Bryce Young throwing for 2,197 yards and 16 touchdowns; Chris Olave leads New Orleans with 734 receiving yards. The Saints need to disrupt Young and protect the ball: they have 15 giveaways and a minus-six turnover differential, compared with Carolina’s 12 giveaways and minus-one mark.
