The Saints and Panthers meet up in a key NFC South match up. If last week is anything to go by, the Saints will rely on the arm of Carr to put up points, hopefully more than last week's 16. For the Panthers, it will be all about the run as newbie QB Young looks like he will need some time to adjust. Both of these teams faced run-heavy teams in game one. The Saints held King Henry to 4.3/63 yards. Carolina allowed 130 yds rushing to the Falcons. The Saints pass defense ate up Tannehill and Co. last week. Facing rookie Bryce Young, who finished with a passer rating of under 50, it will be no contest. The Panthers allowed Ridder a 111 rating, even when sacking him 4 times.
Carr looked effective if turnover-prone, throwing for 282 passing yards, with a Passer Rating of 96. He was harried especially in the first half, but put up impressive totals in yards if not points none the less. The Saints will have to improve on passer protection as Carr was sacked 4 times. He has very good targets this year, including a very speedy rookie in Shaheed. With Carolina missing a key CB in Horn, the Saints will be able to move the ball in the air effectively. It is hard to see where Carolina's points will come from on Sunday. New Orleans gave up zero rush and pass TDs last week, and this is not a strong offense. The favored Saints should win and cover in Prime Time on Monday night.
