Game recap: New Orleans Saints 47, Carolina Panthers 10 2024 ...
It was Kamara's 50th game with at least 100 yards from scrimmage.
The defense was just as impressive, forcing three turnovers, sacking Carolina quarterback Bryce Young four times and in general making his life miserable. Defensive back Alontae Taylor had three sacks (all on blitzes; he is the first Saints defensive back to ever have three sacks in a game) while linebacker Demario Davis had the other. Safeties Will Harris and Jordan Howden had interceptions while safety Tyrann Mathieu forced and recovered a fumble.
The special teams units looked sharp too, as kicker Blake Grupe made four field goals, including a career-best 57-yarder, Shaheed had a 47-yard punt return and the Saints partially blocked one of Johnny Hekker's punts (tight end Juwan Johnson had the block). Punter Matthew Hayball didn't have his first punt until 4:40 was left.
Starting cornerback Marshon Lattimore left with a hamstring injury and starting left guard Lucas Patrick left with a toe injury, Tight end Foster Moreau left to be evaluated for a concussion.
The Saints will look to improve to 2-0 next Sunday with a noon kickoff in Dallas against the Cowboys.
