The New Orleans Saints are coming out of a bye week against a Carolina Panthers team that just suffered a tough loss to the Bears. It marks return of Teddy Bridgewater to New Orleans, but it could well be the running game that ultimately determines the winner of the Saints’ showdown with the Panthers.
This game features two marquee running backs playing on massive extensions: Alvin Kamara and Christian McCaffrey. With that being said, the key to the Saints’ running game this season has been Latavius Murray, who is just 18 yards back of Kamara on the season.
