All-Time Series: Regular season series tied at 25-25, Saints have won 5 out of the past 6; Saints lead 26-25 factoring in the one playoff meeting
The Saints took it to the Panthers the last time they both faced off, as New Orleans jumped out to a 35-3 lead by halftime. They could do no wrong, as Alvin Kamara scored twice in the first quarter. A.J. Klein added a pick-six against his former squad, while Tre'Quan Smith and Jared Cook had touchdown grabs. The Saints would add another score to go up 42-3 after Drew Brees found Taysom Hill in the flats, who would take it in for a 45-yard scoop and score.
Things to watch: Against the Panthers, Drew Brees has 3,949 pass yards (304 per game), 31 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions for a 102.1 rating in 13 career home starts against Carolina. Brees is looking for his third game in a row with 3 or more TD passes against the Panthers. No Michael Thomas or Emmanuel Sanders for the offense will make things a bit more interesting for New Orleans, so look for a heavy dose of Alvin Kamara. We're also wanting to see how the defense responds, especially being at full strength with their starters.
