CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Eli Apple made the biggest play of the night on Monday, intercepting Cam Newton in the end zone just before halftime of the New Orleans Saints' 12-9 victory against the Carolina Panthers.
Apple also had a key tackle in the final minute of the second half to help the Saints ice the game.
And, really, the third-year cornerback has been playing lights-out for the past two weeks now -- easily his best stretch since joining the Saints in an October trade with the New York Giants.
