QB Kyle Allen cool and collected as Panthers avoid wrong end of history at Saints

Instant analysis from the Carolina Panthers’ 33-14 victory at New Orleans:

A few ‘firsts’ for rookie Kyle Allen

With starter Cam Newton resting a sore shoulder and backup Taylor Heinicke on injured reserve after taking a beating last week, the Panthers started rookie undrafted free agent Kyle Allen against the Saints.

Allen’s first drive went well, aside from two errant throws. He adjusted well to get the ball to rookie receiver DJ Moore for his first NFL first down, and then went to running back Christian McCaffrey for the next three first downs.
