THE LAST MEETING
Saints 33, Panthers 7; Jan. 3, 2021 @ Bank of America Stadium – While the Saints didn't get the first round bye in the NFC playoffs they coveted, they proved again they can win big games without star players. And that could come in handy in the postseason.
Drew Brees threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns, the Saints had five interceptions and New Orleans routed the Carolina Panthers without their top two running backs and fullback to wrap up the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs.

CAROLINA PANTHERS IN WEEK 1
From Panthers.com
Quarterback Sam Darnold was his usual understated self, never taking the bait, never making a game against the Jets into anything other than the first one on the schedule.
And Christian McCaffrey managed to handle everything with a shrug as normal, even though he touched the ball 30 times and made a block that might have been the play of the game.
But of course, it was the Jets, which meant all eyes were going to be on Darnold.
He finished 24-of-35 for 279 yards, with a 57-yard touchdown pass to Robby Anderson (who had a jet plane celebration — he was going to enjoy beating his old team even if Darnold didn't). Darnold also ran for a score, keeping that touchdown ball as a tangible reminder of his first win here.
As for McCaffrey, he had 21 rushes for 98 yards, and nine receptions for another 89 yards. So you know, your basic 30-touch, 187-yard day from a guy who missed 13 games last season with a collection of injuries.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS WEEK 1 RECAP
New Orleans comes off a dominating 38-3 win over the 2020 NFC Championship finalist Packers in a contest originally scheduled to be played in New Orleans but relocated to Jacksonville due to the recovery process for the Gulf South from Ida.
The win featured nearly flawless performances on offense, defense, special teams, as the Saints handed the Packers a 35-point loss, while the Green and Gold's signal-caller and reigning NFL MVP, Aaron Rodgers was dealt the largest deficit of his career as a starting quarterback.

The win featured a sparkling performance on offense by quarterback Jameis Winston, making his Saints starting debut, an offensive line that did not give up a sack despite the early loss of center Erik McCoy which necessitated two position shuffles and a running attack that finished with 171 yards rushing against what was the NFL's ninth ranked defense in 2020. The seven-year veteran was efficient, posting a 130.8 passer rating, completing 14 of 20 passes for 148 yards, but showing a penchant for big plays with a career-high tying five touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Running back Alvin Kamara served as a workhorse for a New Orleans offense that won the time of possession battle 34:36-25:24, as he carried 20 times for 83 yards and caught three passes for eight yards with the Saints' first touchdown, continuing to move up the club's rushing, receiving and scoring charts.
The defense put together a dominating performance. The unit held the Packers scoreless until the final play of the third quarter and Green Bay mustered only 229 total net yards, including only 43 on the ground on 15 attempts (2.9 avg.). Rookie CB Paulson Adebo and S Marcus Williams recorded picks. Defensive ends Marcus Davenport and Tanoh Kpassagnon led the New Orleans pass rush with sacks.
