Overview
- Rookie Tyler Shough went 24-of-32 for 272 yards and a touchdown, engineering the tying drive to Chris Olave and the final series that set up the winner.
- Safety Lathan Ransom was flagged for unnecessary roughness on Shough's slide with nine seconds left, the last of Carolina's season-high 11 penalties for 103 yards.
- Charlie Smyth converted from 47 yards as time expired after earlier hitting from 42, sealing New Orleans' comeback at the Caesars Superdome.
- Saints rookie running back Devin Neal scored in the second quarter but exited with a hamstring injury and was ruled out; he had been filling in with Alvin Kamara sidelined by an MCL sprain.
- New Orleans completed a season sweep to move to 4-10, while the Panthers fell to 7-7 and now face two remaining head-to-head games with the Buccaneers for NFC South positioning.
