On Sunday afternoon, New Orleans Saints defeated the Carolina Panthers 17-7 to improve to 2-8 on the season. The score was a bit deceiving as this was the Saints most complete game of the season, giving fans a glimpse of hope toward the future as rookie QB Tyler Shough led the team to victory on the road. Shough went 19/27 for 282 yards and 2 touchdowns at Bank of America Stadium and you would have to go all the way back to 1971 to see a Saints rookie quarterback (Archie Manning) throw 2+ touchdown passes
with no interceptions. Now after 10 games, the Saints get a much-needed bye week to recover and rest up before their next matchup at home against the Atlanta Falcons in Caesars Superdome November 23rd.
