The New Orleans Saints were outplayed in every way against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2’s 26-7 loss. Sure, there were exigent circumstances that contributed to the loss. Eight coaches were sidelined due to COVID-19 and Marshon Lattimore and C.J. Gardner-Johnson were late scratches, leaving Paulson Adebo on an island with D.J. Moore all game.
But one issue was within the team’s control: The Saints don’t have a D.J. Moore. They don’t even have a Brandon Zylstra. The Saints’ wide receiving corps has been utterly toothless, catching 11 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns. Presumed No.
