Overview
- Shough completed 19 of 27 passes with no interceptions and converted key third downs to steady an offense that had struggled in recent weeks.
- He hit Chris Olave for a 62-yard score and found Juwan Johnson from 30 yards after Alontae Taylor’s fourth-quarter interception set up a short field.
- New Orleans’ defense held Carolina to 175 total yards, bottled up Rico Dowdle to 53 yards on 18 carries, and limited Bryce Young to 124 passing yards with an interception and a lost fumble.
- Panthers players and coach Dave Canales pointed to a poor week of practice and missed execution, and the defeat dropped Carolina to 5-5 and extended its streak to 11 straight outright losses as a betting favorite.
- The win moved the Saints to 2-8 heading into a Week 11 bye, with Shough set to remain the starter for the near term as Chris Olave logged five catches for 104 yards in a strong return performance.
