Breakers steal win from wildcats, lose to Panthers
CARACAS (AP) — After suffering their heaviest loss of the season at home to the Carolina Panthers Sunday night, the New Orleans Saints didn’t get the opportunity to celebrate like they wanted. They had to stay in the locker room for the remainder of practice, despite being outscored 43-15 by the Panthers.
The team’s only chance to get a win came at 4-8 on the road against the rival Atlanta Falcons in the first meeting of the season between the two squads.
„The first game was tough for us,“ Saints guard Justin Blalock said. „But our offense and guys on defense got a lot done and we should’ve won it.“
The Panthers are coming off a bye after an 11-0 start that has h실시간카지노elped them stay in the race for a playoff spot even after their win at the Panthers. The Saints 올인 119are already six games into an NFC South race that includes victories against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints.
The losses have dropped New Orleans to 5-9 on the season.
The biggest surprise of the game came when it appeared Carolina coach Ron Rivera’s offensive line might play well enough to hold on to their lead against the New Orleans defense. Rivera had kept Blalock at right tackle, which put Cam Newton at quarterback for much of Sunday’s game, but Newton looked more comfortable being used as a throw-in, especially with his legs open.
But while he threw for 312 yards (31 of 54) and two touchdowns, Newton completed just 19 of 29 passes for 151 yards with no touchdowns.
New Orleans‘ defense forced three Newton interceptions and was responsible for only 14 points on 24 drives through the first three quarters (19.8 percent, according to ES온 카지노PN Stats & Information). The Saints have scored only 17 points over their first four games.
In their previous four home games against the Panthers, New Orleans has scored 30.3 points per game and was 21 of 32 (47.6 percent) in those contests.
