Saints and Panthers Face Off in Crucial Rematch Amid Struggles
Uncertainty Surrounds Quarterbacks as Saints Battle Losing Streak and Panthers Seek First Road Win
- The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers are preparing for their second matchup this season, with the Saints in a season-high three-game skid and the Panthers under interim coach Chris Tabor.
- Saints quarterback Derek Carr, who has been knocked out of a game three times this season, is in the concussion protocol and may not start on Sunday.
- Panthers rookie QB Bryce Young, the team's top draft choice, has yet to have a breakout game and has thrown as many interceptions as touchdown passes.
- The Panthers are winless on the road this season and haven't won away from home since the 2018 regular-season finale at New Orleans.
- Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu suspects the matchup could test New Orleans' defense, which ranks 24th against the run and has struggled with quarterbacks who escape the pocket with regularity.
