The undefeated season is still in tact thanks to the wild win over New Orleans.
New Orleans – Cam Newton and the Panthers are collecting some nice memories in New Orleans. That’s what unbeaten teams do.
After his bravado and the eventual win for his side, a very excited looking Newton said, “I expected us to win the football game…We’ve got to find ways moving forward not to put ourselves in this position”.
“We knew it was going to be one of those physical games”. Once the game stabilized, Cam Newton abused the Saints’ defense in building a 27-16 lead in the third quarter.
So was Newton, finishing with 28 completions on 41 attempts for 331 yards and five touchdowns.

“There were a lot of good things, but still too numerous little things that get you beat”, Brees said.
Larry Fitzgerald made his 1,000th reception and topped 1,000 yards for the seventh time.
Payton also questioned the officials’ decision not to overturn a fourth-down completion to tight end Greg Olsen on Carolina’s winning drive, saying he threw his challenge flag because he thought the ball popped out after Olsen rolled over and he had not completed the process of the catch. Olsen had to fall to the ground to make a fingertip grab of the underthrown pass, which was so close to hitting the ground that fans in the Superdome were roaring at replays as Saints coach Sean Payton asked for a review.
Cooks had six catches for 104 yards for the Saints.
