The New Orleans Saints delivered a brutal beat down of 28-10 to the Carolina Panthers Thursday evening at Bank of America Stadium.
Coming into this game, the Panthers (3-5-1) were standing at the top of the NFC South. After the loss to New Orleans (4-4), they now fall back to second place in the shakiest division in the NFL.
The first half showed signs of a defensive showdown as
each team traded turnovers for the majority of the half. Neither team
capitalized on these opportunities until Mark Ingram finally broke the
goal plane with a 3 yard run late in the 2nd quarter.
While this game had a slow first half, the second half showed that the Saints came to take control of the NFC South as Drew Brees led the way for the Saints putting together 299 total yards.
Cam Newton pulled together an early third quarter touchdown run to pull the Panthers within one possession, but it wasn't enough to stop Mark Ingram from breaking the goal plane for a second time to secure the victory for the Saints.
