It was an impressive leadership moment for Allen, but words likely did little to clear Slye’s mind. He did make two field goals, a 41-yarder in the second quarter and a 52-yard bomb in the third that tied him with Graham Gano (6 in 2013) for the most makes from 50-plus yards in a Panthers’...
That didn’t go as planned.
After Slye’s miss, it was on Carolina’s defense to try to extend the game into overtime with a stop at all costs.
The crucial moment was third-and-6 from the New Orleans 36 when Brees targeted go-to guy Michael Thomas, the NFL’s leading receiver, who was lined up...
Kamara vs. CMC
Speaking of Kamara… while we won’t be seeing him and Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey go head to head literally (Can you imagine?), it’s impossible to talk Panthers-Saints without comparing the two.
Kamara has 472 yards and one touchdown on the ground this season...
LB Luke Kuechly: RB Adrian Peterson
"AP said, 'You’re fun to play against.' That one was cool, because I grew up watching Adrian Peterson. This was after I played him one time when he was with the Vikings and that was cool, because it’s Adrian Peterson. Also, I'm a big DeAndre Hopkins fan. I...
"Our charitable foundation is excited to work alongside the Player Impact Committee in support of The Bail Project,” said Panthers Owner David Tepper. “This organization works tirelessly to address this critical issue within the criminal justice space, and we are happy to help them with this...

"I think he's their feature halfback and maybe two years ago you saw him in a lot of different roles," Payton said. "I think now, of course he’s a guy that has that versatility in the passing game, but man, he's on the field...
The Panthers' last trip to the Superdome resulted in a victory in the final game of the regular season.
Now, with a 5-5 record and playoff chances hanging in the balance, can Carolina do it again?
The 8-2 New Orleans Saints are heavy favorites, as expected. We'll see if the Panthers can pull...

CHARLOTTE -- Defensive back Ross Cockrell (quad) was the only the player who did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Cockrell, who missed last week's game against the Falcons, has been working with the training staff on the side.
Rookie offensive tackle Dennis Daley (groin) was limited...
Here are some facts from EA to put the accomplishment in perspective:
Barry Sanders, Marshall Faulk, LaDainian Tomlinson, Chris Johnson and Adrian Peterson, are the only running backs who ever had a 99 rating
McCaffrey is the youngest RB to get to 99
McCaffrey, who is 23, is the youngest 99 in...
Olsen is getting at something that has really come into focus for the Panthers as of late. Second-year quarterback Kyle Allen, set to make his 10th career start at New Orleans this Sunday, has struggled in situations when Carolina has trailed by multiple scores. The entire offense has struggled...
On LB Shaq Thompson’s performance and progression this season.
“Yeah I would agree. Number one, he’s an explosive player. Number two, over the years, we’ve seen his versatility. There aren’t many linebackers that can jump in, kind of, in a nickel role and handle receivers the way he does. I...
Carolina won four of the first five games in 1995-97 as the team won the division in 1996. New Orleans then took eight of the next 10 contests as Carolina went six straight years without a winning season and the Saints had a division title.
The Panthers then won 11 of 15 matchups between the...

“I think the biggest thing that he does that the really, really good receivers do, is they go get the ball,” Rivera said. “He runs good routes, he runs ahead of people, but he goes to get the ball. He doesn’t let the ball come to him. That’s a quarterback’s best friend.”
Here’s Bradberry’s...
Since then, Allen’s understanding of the game has grown, but not necessarily his style of play.
“I don’t think my game has changed much,” Allen said. “I think just the mental part has changed. I’ve seen more. I’ve seen more defenses, I’ve seen more schemes, more blitzes.”
Even though he’s...
The turnover margin
As the Panthers witnessed in Week 6, playing against Bucs’ quarterback Jameis Winston means there will be plenty of opportunities for takeaways.
The Saints picked off Winston four times last Sunday, including a 55-yard interception return for a touchdown, while the Bucs...
