After an awful performance against the Atlanta Falcons and a bounce-back performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the New Orleans Saints will line up on Sunday to take on the Carolina Panthers.
Currently 2-1 in NFC South competition, this will be the two team’s first matchup. They’ll reconvene in Week 17 which could just be a giveaway game for the Saints as they’ll potentially have a first-round bye locked up.
The Saints need this win as they’ll take on the Falcons, a team that’s already beaten them and then the 49ers in their next two weeks. However, there are a few silver linings as they head towards the home stretch, and one is the stellar play of their defense.
