Last week, the Carolina Panthers were featured in a home prime time game in front of a nationally televised audience. Fans familiar with only 2015 probably struggled to recognize the team in action on Monday night, currently a shell of their former selves. Now 1-4 and having recently dropped their first two divisional games to Atlanta and Tampa Bay, the Panthers prepare for a matchup with the Saints and a hopeful return of starting quarterback Cam Newton. Opposite them on Sunday, Drew Brees awaits with a New Orleans team coming off a bye week after having earned their first victory of the season.
