How to Watch Saints vs. Panthers NFL Week 2: Streaming, Betting Info

There are signs of life in New Orleans. Now it's time for the Saints to take the show on the road to Carolina in NFL Week 2 action.

Despite playing without five-time Pro Bowl running back Alvin Kamara, Derek Carr and company pushed through to a 16-15 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 1.

Carr stepped up in his regular season Saints debut to fill the offensive void left by Kamara, delivering more than 300 yards of offense through the air. The defense steeled themselves against the Titans late in the game, making two big third-down stops in the fourth quarter to force field goals instead of touchdowns.

The path is rarely smooth for rookie quarterbacks, and that proved to be the case for Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young. In his regular season debut, the 2023 first overall draft pick compiled less than 150 yards through the air despite 20 completed passes on 38 attempts.

The math there isn't great. With an average of less than four yards per attempt, it was hard for the Panthers to generate much rhythm on offense. ESPN's David Newton points out that over the past five seasons, teams without a completion of at least 15 yards are just 5-9. Young's longest was just 14 yards.

Add to that two interceptions, and it was a rocky start for the 2021 Heisman winner.

Can Young and the Panthers find their way and secure a win? Or will Saints go 2-0 for the first time since 2013? We'll have to find out on Monday Night Football.
