The Saints scored early and often on their way to a 30-0 lead before the Panthers got on the board with a field goal. The Saints in fact scored on their first nine drives with five TDs and four FGs. The Saints kicked their first punt of the game in the fourth quarter with 4:37 left on the clock. The Saints dominated from the opening whistle to the final whistle. Derek Carr dropped a 59 yard dime to Rahid Shaheed on the first possession of the game to begin the scoring onslaught. Derek Carr was an efficient 19 of 23 for an 82.6% completion rate and finished the game with 200 yards passing and a 142.4 rating. Carr would go on to toss TD passes to TE Foster Moreau and TE Juwan Johnson. Carr said after the game, “Hopefully everyone got to see what it can be, what it can potentially be. Our defense gave us a lot of short fields.” Alvin Kamara was on a mission to prove that he still deserves a new lucrative contract. Kamara had the majority of the load for the backfield with 15 carries for 83 yards and a TD, 5 receptions for another 27 yards, and averaged 5.5 yards per touch. Jamaal Williams also carried the football 11 times for 38 yards and a score. Kamara said, “With Clint, we exchanged some ideas and some views and he was receptive to it, it’s good to have him down there (on the sideline).” Defensively for the Black and Gold, the Saints were able to hold the Panthers to 135 yards passing and 58 yards rushing and limited the Panthers to a 1-10 conversion rate on third down. The Saints also created three turnovers, interceptions by Will Harris and Jordan Howden and the Honey Badger Tyrann Mathieu forced a fumble. CB Alonte Taylor accounted for three of the Saints’ four sacks, with Demario Davis registering the other sack. After battling during the offseason and preseason for kicking duties, Blake Grupe was a perfect 4 of 4 on field goal attempts and 5 of 5 on extra point attempts. Matthew Hayball finally saw the field late in the fourth quarter, punting on each of the Saints final two possessions for an average of 36.5 yards per punt. The Saints now enter a brutal four week stretch where they will travel to Dallas next Sunday for a noon tilt with the Cowboys. The Saints will then host the Eagles, travel to Atlanta and Kansas City before returning home to host the Buccaneers. John 14:6 - "I am the way and the truth and the life.
