Defense allowed 99 net passing yards and two field goals against Carolina
By John DeShazier - Senior Writer | New Orleans Saints
Bottom line is this: The New Orleans Saints ended a three-game losing streak Sunday with a 28-6 victory over Carolina at the Caesars Superdome, and climbed back into a first-place tie with Tampa Bay and Atlanta in the NFC South Division.
And despite the fact that New Orleans (6-7) lost its first matchup against each of those division rivals, there remains another head-to-head game with each which gives the Saints a large say in what their future holds.
It wasn't the complete-game, eye-pleasing, get-right performance that New Orleans was looking for, but it was the victory the Saints had to have.
OFFENSE: Twenty-eight points (21 on offense) and three of four on trips to the red zone certainly sounds like an efficient offensive performance, but that was nowhere near the case on a day in which the Saints totaled 207 yards, including 119 yards and two touchdowns on 18 completions by quarterback Derek Carr . The Saints were neither explosive (one play for more than 20 yards) nor forceful (97 yards on 25 carries). And on seven of 10 third-down chances New Orleans failed to convert, which contributed to a time of possession of just 25:10. Give credit for this: Tight end Jimmy Graham being active on gameday the last two Sundays has proven beneficial, with him catching three passes for two touchdowns the last two weeks, both of them in the red zone. But there was no fluidity on offense and the absence of receivers Rashid Shaheed and Michael Thomas glared against the Panthers.
