Key matchups: Saints vs. Panthers

The New Orleans Saints are coming off their best win of the season, winning a dog fight against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now the Saints will be set for an NFC South rematch with the Carolina Panthers, who they beat 17-7 in Carolina earlier this season. The black and gold matched up well with the Panthers in Week 10, and should again as long as they take advantage of these key matchups.

Saints’ run game vs. Panthers’ defense​

The Saints have reached 100 yards rushing just twice in their last nine games, with their 139-yard day on the ground against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week being their second-best rushing day this season. While rookie running back Devin Neal led the team in rushing yards, ending the day with 70, it was rookie quarterback Tyler Shough’s 55 yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground that highlighted the Saints’ run attack.

The black and gold will have a favorable matchup in Week 15 against the Panthers, who allowed 152, 147, and 125 yards rushing in their last three games. With Devin Neal set to lead the Saints’ rushing attack again due to Alvin Kamara’s injury and Shough’s breakout performance on the ground, New Orleans could take advantage of a weak run defense and control the ground.

Saints secondary vs. QB Bryce Young​

The Saints have had Panthers quarterback Bryce Young’s number since he entered the league, with the third-year signal caller having a career record 1-4 against the black and gold. In five matchups, Young has thrown 4 interceptions to just 2 touchdown passes while being sacked 15 times.

New Orleans won the turnover battle in its first matchup with Carolina this season and, of course, intercepted Young. Forcing takeaways and making the Panthers quarterback make mistakes has been the key to the Saints’ success over the Panthers, and it will remain a priority heading into their Week 15 matchup.

QB Tyler Shough vs. Panthers pass rush​

Shough put on a show in his start against the Panthers in Week 10, showing his development in the pocket. The rookie quarterback was making defenders miss and extending plays with his legs while keeping his eyes downfield. While an impressive day against Carolina, Shough’s pocket presence then was just a glimpse of what he has done since taking over at quarterback.

Shough has now shown the ability to make plays with his arm and his legs while avoiding pressure in the pocket, and will have the chance to display it again against one of the league’s worst pass-rushing defenses. The Panthers rank 31st in the NFL in sacks and 30th in sack%. When, or maybe even if, the Panthers pressure the second-round quarterback, he will have the opportunity to show his improvisation skills and extend plays.

Saints Rookie Impact Report: Week 15

Let’s start the breakdown for the New Orleans Saints’ Sunday matchup against the Carolina Panthers!

OT Kelvin Banks​

The Carolina Panthers have not had a great pass rush this year, so Banks should be able to continue his rookie-year dominance. Penalties are something to watch, as they have been an issue in recent weeks.

---

QB Tyler Shough​

Last week, Shough made big play after big play to get the Saints their third win of the season. If he has a similar performance to his first time playing (and defeating) the Panthers, his job may be officaly secured in 2026. He has an excellent ability to make plays on his feet, pick apart defenses, and somehow deal with the extreme amount of pressure thrown at him.

This could be another big day for Shough.

---

S Jonas Sanker​

For Sanker, this has been an interesting couple of weeks on the field for him. Earlier in the season, when he became the starter, he was really impressive. However, that has not really held recently. Missed tackles here and there, disappointing penalties, and even some dropped picks. Yes, it’s not been bad, and Sanker has been well worth the selection used on him, but a nice bounce-back game would get the young safety back on track.

---

CB Quincy Riley​

Onto the other young DB, Riley has a chance for a big game against Carolina. Since becoming the starter, Riley has been a good depth corner for New Orleans. He hasn’t shown CB1 talent yet, but heading into next season, the Saints can feel good about him as a third option alongside Kool-Aid McKinstry. Against the Buccaneers, there was one play on which Riley got just a bit early to the WR, and it was called a penalty. It was extremely close, and although it was the correct call that resulted in a penalty, it was good to see from Riley because his timing seems to be improving.

Now, against the Panthers, with how up and down Bryce Young can be, the rookie CB may be able to get his second interception of the year.

---

RB Devin Neal​

RB Alvin Kamara will be out again this week, which, for Devin Neal, is another excellent opportunity to prove himself. In the last game, Neal had his breakout performance and looked great nearly everywhere. He continued his great blocking, made significant plays in the passing game, and was impressive as the top RB against the Buccaneers’ great run defense.

HC Kellen should go Neal’s way a good amount of Sunday.

Saints NFL draft order 2026: Where New Orleans stands heading into Week 15

The New Orleans Saints have remained in the top 3 for a while, but last week they posted a rare win, resulting in some movement. The Tennessee Titans also earned a victory, which was significant for the Saints, but going into Week 15, New Orleans now has the #5 overall pick in the draft.

Here is the new draft order.

Updated 2026 NFL Draft order​

1. New York Giants
2. Las Vegas Raiders
3. Tenessee Titans
4. Cleveland Browns
5. New Orleans Saints
6. Washington Commanders
7. New York Jets
8. Arizona Cardinals
9. Cincinnati Bengals
10. Los Angeles Rams (previously owned by Atlanta Falcons)
11. Minnesota Vikings
12. Miami Dolphins
13. Baltimore Ravens
14. Kansas City Chiefs
15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
16. Dallas Cowboys
17. Detroit Lions
18. New York Jets (previously owned by the Indianapolis Colts)
19. Pittsburgh Steelers
20. Carolina Panthers
21. Philidelphia Eagles
22. Houston Texans
23. Chicago Bears
24. Buffalo Bills
25. Los Angeles Chargers
26. San Francisco 49ers
27. Cleveland Browns (previously owned by the Jacksonville Jaguars)
28. Dallas Cowboys (previously owned by the Green Bay Packers)
29. Seattle Seahawks
30. New England Patriots
31. Los Angeles Rams
32. Denver Broncos

What the Saints can do at #5​

Looking at the potential options at pick 5, Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love stands out as a possible option. Yes, the emergence of rookie Devin Neal, the RB position being less valuable on the roster, and the Saints’ many other issues make this pick a bit rich. Still, Love would be the talent the Saints need, and HC Kellen Moore has repeatedly talked about the offense missing a homerun option at RB. With Avlin Kamara also nearing the end of his career, this influx of talent would heavily improve the offense.

The one thing the Saints need to do to make this pick worth it is to fix the interior offensive line. The main reason New Orleans’ rushing attack is not performing as well as expected is the run blocking, and the Saints cannot do what the Raiders just did. Las Vegas drafted Ashton Jeanty, one of the best RB prospects in a while, very early in the draft, and it has not really worked. Their run blocking is not good, so if the Saints do this, they will also need to get two upgrades at guard.

Game Recap: Saints vs Panthers

The New Orleans Saints hosted their NFC South rival Carolina Panthers in the Caesars Superdome on Sunday. Here’s a quick recap of all the action from the divisional matchup.

First Quarter​

After New Orleans went three-and-out to begin the day, the visitors found a hot start on a 13-play drive that included a 15-yard scramble by Bryce Young and a 15-yard throw to Jalen Coker.

Facing 3rd-and-4 in the red zone, Chuba Hubbard found 5 yards for a first down before Rico Dowdle ran in a touchdown two plays later to give Carolina a 7-0 lead.

Tyler Shough proceeded to find Juwan Johnson for 12 yards for a first third-down conversion of the game for the black and gold, but the drive soon dwindled into another punt.

An unnecessary roughness call against Ikem Ekwonu pinned Carolina back as they got the ball back, and they soon punted themselves.

Second Quarter​

A variety of receivers got involved on the ensuing Saints drive, with Shough finding Devaughn Vele for 16 yards on a third-and-long to keep the possession alive.

Shough found Chris Olave and Vele again, with Devin Neal breaking off a 15-yard run as New Orleans drove into Panthers territory.

More runs and a pass to Johnson put the Saints inside the 5 before Neal ran in a 4-yard score to tie the game.

Young found Coker for 24 yards and Tetairoa McMillan for 21 yards as Carolina elicited a quick response, as a 40-yard field goal gave them a 10-7 lead before the half.

Third Quarter​

The Panthers picked up where they left off to begin the third quarter, with a 5-minute, 70-yard touchdown drive highlighted by a 34-yard throw to Xavier Legette and a 32-yard connection from Young to Coker for the score and a commanding 17-7 lead.

Shough converted another third-and-long through Vele as the hosts sought a response. He found Vele again, as well as scrambling himself for first downs, though consecutive sacks in the red zone meant a field goal attempt. Charlie Smyth was good from 42 yards to cut into the lead.

Fourth Quarter​

The Panthers faced 4th-and-1 as they looked to restore their two-score lead, and Dowdle was able to find the first down as the final 15 minutes got underway.

But they soon faced the same situation on the edge of field goal range, and this time the Saints came up with the stop to force a turnover on downs.

Shough connected with Kevin Austin Jr for 18 yards to move New Orleans past midfield. A pair of incompletions soon meant another field goal attempt, but an offside penalty against Carolina moved the Saints to 4th-and-1.

Electing instead to go for it, Shough too was stopped short of the yard to gain, and Carolina regained possession.

But they went three-and-out, and the Saints got the ball back with just under 5 minutes to play.

Shough put an impressive drive together to tie the game at 17-17, with three straight big passes to Olave for a total of 53 yards and another throw to Johnson to set up a 12-yard touchdown pass to Olave once more.

Carolina’s ensuing drive lasted just over a minute, as Young was able to find just one first down with a scramble. They punted back to the Saints with just under a minute to go.

Shough connected twice with Audric Estime as well as with Olave as he looked to set up a game-winning field goal, helped massively by an unnecessary roughness penalty against Lathan Ransom in the dying seconds.

Charlie Smyth had time to attempt a 47-yard kick, which he nailed to secure a 20-17 win for the Saints.

Attention now turns to another home game as the Jets visit New Orleans on December 21st.

Week 15: Saints vs. Panthers – Social media reactions

If the New Orleans Saints cannot go to the playoffs this season, then why should anyone else? After defeating the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14, Kellen Moore’s group followed that up with a 20-17 come-from-behind win over the Panthers in Week 15’s game that would have resulted in Carolina taking the top spot in the division had the result been reversed. Next up, the Saints will jockey for a true winning streak as they host the New York Jets at the Caesars Superdome.

SB Nation Reacts Survey: How confident are you that the Saints are headed in the right direction?

It’s Week 16 and the New Orleans Saints are on a 2-game winning streak after defeating the Carolina Panthers in the Superdome on Sunday. Despite their 4-10 record the Saints are the talk of the NFL right with Tyler Shough at the helm. Shough threw for 272 Yards and 1 touchdown, he currently has the most wins by rookie QBs in starts this season and was nominated for NFL Rookie of the Week for his performance against the Panthers.

This Sunday, the Saints will look to continue that run in their final home game of the season against the New York Jets, who are 3-11. It’s quite the turnaround in New Orleans, who after their last three games, now have the #2 ranked red zone offense in the NFL, scoring a touchdown on 75% of their opportunities in the red zone.

But as always, we want to hear from you… How confident are you that the Saints are headed in the right direction? Vote in this week’s poll and let us know.

Saints Spotlight: Week 16 vs. Jets

This week, the New Orleans Saints host the 3-11 New York Jets in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season—a game with significant draft-position implications. The player to watch for this matchup filled in seamlessly and impressed after being forced to step up in a depleted backfield: RB Audric Estime.

With Alvin Kamara missing the past three games while nursing a knee injury and Devin Neal exiting Sunday’s matchup against the Carolina Panthers early with a hamstring injury, former Denver Broncos fifth-round draft pick Audric Estime handled the majority of the workload the rest of the game—and delivered when it mattered most.

The 22-year-old finished with three rushing attempts for 11 yards and a first-down conversion on the ground, while adding three receptions on three targets for 39 yards and a first-down conversion through the air. He earned a 78.9 overall receiving grade from Pro Football Focus and served as a reliable safety valve for Tyler Shough in the screen game, playing a big role in the Saints’ 17-play, 95-yard touchdown drive. Estime has also been effective in pass protection, posting a 79.0 overall pass-blocking grade against Carolina.

If both Kamara and Neal are unable to suit up Sunday against New York, expect a hefty workload for Estime

Our offense vs. their defense: New York Jets

On Sunday, the 4-10 New Orleans Saints will host the 3-11 New York Jets in a battle between teams jockeying for draft order position. While the season may not have gone as either envisioned, one is guaranteed to pick up a victory this weekend.

The Saints are coming off back-to-back wins, both versus NFC South opponents. Last weekend, Kellen Moore’s team earned a comeback 20-17 victory over the visiting Carolina Panthers. New York heads into this game after losing back-to-back contests. Most recently, they fell 48-20 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road.

New Orleans currently averages 296.9 yards and 16.1 points per game. Those marks have them ranked as the 26th-best offense in the league. Meanwhile, New York’s defense sits at just about the middle of the pack. They typically allow 337.4 yards and 28.4 points to opposing teams.

Starting quarterback Tyler Shough has experienced highs and lows during his rookie season with the New Orleans Saints, but has progressed steadily through the second half of the season. He has 1,484 yards through the air to go along with six touchdowns and five interceptions. The second-round pick also has over 100 rushing yards, finding the end zone with his legs twice.

Shough’s leading pass catcher, wide receiver Chris Olave, has amassed 82 receptions for 896 yards and six TDs. Olave will have an opportunity to go over 1,000 receiving yards for the Saints after the team did not have a receiver reach 600 yards just a year ago.

Running the football has not carried the same success this season for New Orleans. Running back Alvin Kamara is the Saints’ leading rusher with just 471 yards on the ground, more than double any other player. Kamara has battled injury this year, as well as the majority of the positional group. No tailback has played in more than 11 games to this point.

Linebacker Jamien Sherwood is the Jets’ leading tackler with 129 on the year, good enough for the seventh-most across the league. Defensive end Will McDonald IV leads the team with seven sacks, twice as many as LB Quincy Williams.

The New York Jets’ defense has only managed to force three turnovers all season, all by way of a recovered fumble. No player on the roster has intercepted a pass all season, which bodes well for Tyler Shough and the passing game of the Saints.

As long as New Orleans protects the football and caps off drives with points this weekend, I do not doubt that the Saints could earn their fifth win of the season versus New York. Heck, they already beat the Giants. This team is a work in progress, but the vision is on the horizon.

Saints NFL draft order 2026: Where New Orleans stands heading into Week 16

Feelings around the New Orleans Saints’ season have gone in an entirely different direction in recent weeks, and with that, their draft pick continues to fall.

Here is the new draft order.

Updated 2026 NFL Draft order​

1. New York Giants
2. Las Vegas Raiders
3. Tenessee Titans
4. Cleveland Browns
5. New York Jets
6. Arizona Cardinals
7. New Orleans Saints
8. Washington Commanders
9. Cincinnati Bengals
10. Los Angeles Rams (previously owned by Atlanta Falcons)
11. Miami Dolphins
12. Kansas City Chiefs
13. Minnesota Vikings
14. Dallas Cowboys
15. Baltimore Ravens
16. Carolina Panthers
17. Detroit Lions
18. New York Jets (previously owned by the Indianapolis Colts)
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

22. Houston Texans
23. Dallas Cowboys (previously owned by the Green Bay Packers)
24. Buffalo Bills

27. San Francisco 49ers
28. Cleveland Browns (previously owned by the Jacksonville Jaguars)
29. New England Patriots
30. Seattle Seahawks
31. Los Angeles Rams
32. Denver Broncos

What the Saints can do at #7​

There are still great options even with the Saints dropping back in the draft order, and one of them has also seen his stock drop a bit. At one point, EDGE Rueben Bain Jr. was projected to be the top pick in the draft, and this held for a while, until two things: measurement concerns and a drop-off in production.

If you remember last season, OT Will Campbell had massive concerns over his arm length, which was a significant outlier for offensive tackles. Well, the same exact things are happening to Bain, who has sub-31-inch arms. This will be a storyline you will hear about all offseason, and with the Saints in particular, it could really hurt their evaluation of the prospect. The measurements would stop New Orleans from selecting him at the top of the draft, but pick 7 is different.

On the field, Bain is a dominant force that wins with everything. He demands so much attention from the opposing offense, and at times, the only way of getting around the defensive lineman is getting the ball out as fast as possible. As a run defender, Bain is also excellent.

Where he plays on the defensive line will be an interesting conversation, because moving to the interior could be best for his career, given his arm-length issues. Funny enough, that is the exact conversation with Campbell, but guess what? He did not move to the inside and is a great offensive tackle for New England, so why not keep Bain on the edge across from Chase Young?
