Panthers get their first win of the season in their first divisional matchup.
Vibes are good.
Johnny Hekker had 4 punts inside the 20 today, giving him 308 for his career.
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) September 25, 2022
He's now top 10 in NFL history in punts inside the 20
Jaycee Horn with the INT to seal it. Horn had a pick against Winston and the Saints last year in the win.
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) September 25, 2022
Christian McCaffrey tops 100 rushing yards for the second straight week
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) September 25, 2022
Christian McCaffrey had a big, huge 40-yd run that would've pushed him over 100 yards rushing today, but it's called back due to an Ikem Ekwonu hold
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
Jaycee with the hops.

Jaycee Horn just tipped a pass which was intercepted by, wait for it, Derrick Brown.

Laviska Shenault goes 67 yards to the house...his previous long was 58 with Jacksonville

Derrick Brown is shaken up but walks off on his own power
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
CJ Henderson is now questionable to return with a neck injury.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Panthers' offense didn't get anything going on that one and punt to pin the Saints at their own 11. Carolina leads New Orleans 13-0, with the fourth quarter less than 1 min away.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
Panthers go for it on fourth and 4 from the Saints' 38, but Mayfield's pass to Ricci falls incomplete.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
Mayfield is 7 of 15 for 44 yds, 0 TD, 0 INT with a little over 5 mins to go in the third quarter

Here's the scene: The Saints have third and 12 at the Panthers' 20. Crowd's getting into it, the sun peaks from behind the clouds for one of the first times today.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
A HUGE sack on Jameis Winston from Jeremy Chinn pushes them back 11 yards..
Then Lutz misses a 48 yd FG
Donte Jackson back on the field.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Donte Jackson still standing on the sidelines, but hasn't done anything since he was announced as questionable to return with a neck issue.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Ruling on the field stands as called, Panthers are charged with a timeout. They have two remaining, with 14:54 to go in the third quarter.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
Panthers challenging that Saints returner was down by contact. Stephen Sullivan came up with the ball.

With two 40+ yard Piñeiro field goals and the blocked FG attempt, you'd say the Panthers have been pretty ~*special*~ through the first half
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
...
sorry
A quick glance at halftime stats. 76 of New Orleans' 162 yards came on two plays pic.twitter.com/W4Uvr7Gc9q
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) September 25, 2022
Today marks the first time since Week 12 of 2004 (against TB) that Carolina has scored a defensive TD AND blocked a FG
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) September 25, 2022
Last time that Carolina blocked a FG was in 2019 when Kyle Love blocked a Washington FG
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) September 25, 2022
Things are going well defensively for the Panthers, but they've gained just 101 yards and they're 1-of-6 on third downs.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Baker Mayfield is 7-of-13 for 44 yards passing.
Henry Anderson came through with the BLOCK 💪 pic.twitter.com/8TI7I5OsU7
— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) September 25, 2022
Special teams coordinator Chris Tabor gets INTENSE celebrating along the sideline as the Panthers block a 30-yard FG attempt.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
The Saints drove all the way down to the Carolina 11, and come up with nothing.
Nice, nice, nice
Last time that Carolina blocked a FG was in 2019 when Kyle Love blocked a Washington FG
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) September 25, 2022
Derrick Brown bats down another pass. He's quietly played good football.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Panthers give up the big play, but then hold the Saints to a field goal attempt.
Then they block it.
Jamies hits Chris Olave for 49 yards, down to the Panthers 18 with 44 seconds in the half. First hint of trouble.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Eddy Piñeiro is now 6-6 from FGs with Carolina. Has hit two from 45+ today
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) September 25, 2022
Panthers tried to get the Saints to jump on fourth-and-3 at the 30.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Now sending Piñeiro out for a 48-yard field goal, he hits it, and the Panthers lead 13-0.
Panthers converted on third down. It was third-and-1, but it snaps their 0-for-4 streak to start the game.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
Chuba Hubbard with a nice run after contact, 14 yards.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
(Also was very careful to secure the ball tightly.) A good play for a guy who needed it.
Big play Gio Ricci...
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
TE by committee approach is working early for the Panthers
Shaq Thompson was close to an interception.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Panthers defense is on one so far.
The Saints are in their own way with these penalties. We aren't even halfway through the second quarter, and they've already been called for 5 penalties, loss of 40 yds
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
5 penalties now on New Orleans. 2 so far on Carolina
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) September 25, 2022
Baker Mayfield takes a 9-yard sack on third-and-5. It's his second of the day.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
Panthers are 0-for-4 on third down.
Panthers defense has followed the fumble return TD with a couple of three-and-outs.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
It's early yet, but this is what they needed.
Carolina doesn't convert on third down, but Eddy Piñeiro makes a 45-yd FG to extend the Panthers' lead.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
It was a 10-play, 40-yard drive, took 5:10 off the clock. Didn't end in a TD, but kept the defense off the field for a little while.
CAR 10, NO 0 | 14:16 2Q
Eddy Piñeiro from 45 is good, and the Panthers are up 10-0.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Carolina faces third and 10 at the Saints' 29 when we return for the second quarter.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
Panthers are 0-for-2 on third down so far today, but Baker Mayfield is looking generally more comfortable this drive. We shall see
Panthers are moving now that Mayfield has completed a couple of passes.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Panthers defense is putting in work vs. New Orleans. Force a quick 3-and-out after scoring the TD.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
Now to see if the O can capitalize on the ~momentum~

First defensive TD for the Panthers since Jeremy Chinn's double scores in Minnesota in 2020 https://t.co/FXYonpFlKE
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) September 25, 2022
Carolina's first takeaway of the season comes with points. Frankie Luvu forced the Alvin Kamara fumble, Marquis Haynes scooped it up and took it 44 yards for the TD.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
Panthers first on the board.
CAR 7, NO 0 | 5:32 1Q
INJURY UPDATE: Donte Jackson (neck) is questionable to return.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
Frankie forced the fumble‼️

Marquis with the scoop‼️ pic.twitter.com/033dWS8ecD
Pressured Winston into throwing it away, but Yetur Gross-Matos gives them a first down with an unnecessary unnecessary roughness.

Carolina does not convert on third and 6, Panthers' second drive goes 3-and-out, and Johnny Hekker punts.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
With that tackle, Shaq Thompson (581) has passed Jon Beason to move into 4th place in franchise history in career tackles (press box stats).
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) September 25, 2022
Shi Smith returning punts today, lets that one go through the end zone.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Donte Jackson goes to the sideline, in the medical tent.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Panthers started with a 14-yard run by McCaffrey, then stalled.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Saints start with a Jameis fumble, but then Kamara gains 27.
Weird start.
Panthers don't convert on 1st third-down attempt from 9 yards out, put in a long situation after Baker Mayfield was sacked on second down.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
Laviska Shenault Jr. is back to receive the opening kickoff, after Chuba Hubbard's rocky Week 2. It's Shenault's first game as a Panther.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) September 25, 2022
Saints call heads, win the toss, defer to second half.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 25, 2022
Panthers will get the ball first.
Laviska Shenault going back to return after Chuba Hubbard put the ball on the ground twice last week.
Saints call heads
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) September 25, 2022
It’s heads
Panthers will receive for third straight game
68 degrees at kickoff, per the press box announcements. Lovely.
