- The Panthers managed just 175 total yards with two turnovers and went 3-for-9 on third down in an anemic outing.
- Bryce Young was held to about 124 passing yards as Dave Canales accepted responsibility for the gameplan and lack of explosive plays.
- Left tackle Ikem Ekwonu said the performance reflected a week of inadequate preparation and missed details.
- New Orleans posted a season-high 388 yards behind rookie Tyler Shough, who hit two long touchdown passes, with Chris Olave topping 100 receiving yards and Alvin Kamara reaching 115 from scrimmage.
