Overreactions to Saints defensive dominance in win over Panthers

The New Orleans Saints avenged an early-season loss to the Carolina Panthers this week. The defense was dominant, and the offense did just enough to beat the Panthers 18-10. Cam Jordan and C.J. Gardner-Johnson led the Saints defense by making life difficult for Sam Darnold the entire game. Marquez Callaway’s emergence kept going as he had one of his best games, tallying 97 yards at receiver. This Saints team is within one win of making the playoffs. With the way the season has gone, that fact is hard to believe. This team is just vastly different on each side of the ball.
