Saints at Panthers Matchups: New Orleans defense vs. Carolina offense

The New Orleans Saints culminate three straight away games with a trip into Charlotte, N.C. tonight to play the Carolina Panthers on Monday night football. The Saints have quietly become one of the stingiest defenses in the NFL. During the season's opening month they gave up passing yardage at an alarming rate, and a combined 48 and 37 points to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons in weeks 1 and 3 respectively. In the ten games since, the Saints have allowed an opponent to score more than 30 points just one time, giving up an average of just 18 points per game, and no opponent has scored more than 20 points in their last five games.
