The eleventh Thursday Night of the season went on stage in Charlotte, North Carolina between the hosts of the Carolina Panthers and the guests of the New Orleans Saints. The match began with the Saints in attack for the first possession of the game, a first possession that lasted a couple of games before Drew Brees lost a fumble very near his end zone, the Panthers with the ball on a yard from touchdown sought to score using play action and heavy formations, a tactic that has proven loser for them since the defense of the Saints not only managed to repel them but also to make them move back allowing only three-point field goal owed by Graham Gano. Drew Brees and his attack regained their rhythm in the drive after marching 10 yards to the Panthers with short passes and running back that ran through more careful defense of Carolina not to grant big plays has given a lot in the short range, once on 10 yards Cody Fleener missed a reception that would have given the first down of his team forcing coach Payton to send Lutz kicker in the field who kicked and made the field goal from 27 yards. From that time until the middle of the second quarter the defenses dominated the game through a combination of pressure on the quarterback and good coverages on the receivers, and it was the defense of Carolina with Kurt Coleman to intercept a pass from Drew Brees on the 40 yard line New Orleans and this time of the attack led by Cam Newton Panther managed to make the most of this great field position by scoring a touchdown from a yard with a run dive of Jonathan Steward after Greg Olsen had received the ball on a out route to beating Ellerbe third down one on one. On the following kickoff return rookie finder Saints made a big mistake touch the ball and leaving it out on the 2 yard line, position from which his attack was due to leave and where it ended three and out with the following punt giving another good position field to the Panthers that thanks to a balanced drive arrived in field goal range where Gano made three points with a precise kick from 49 yards. With 2:40 on the clock of the second quarter the Saints tried a reaction by choosing with great success to do so by air where the running back Ingram has had good earnings, New Orleans was able to get into field goal range and how successful last week Denver against their opponents have stuck it back up in football touchdown, canceled for a penalty on 30 yards that gave the possession 40 yards from where the Saints Cam Newton has exploited the weak point of the defense cover 2 Visitor passing into the endzone for Ted Ginn Jr. that ran a deep post route the ball that resulted in touchdowns of 17 more.
The hosts started the second half of the match with the possession of the ball and moving it almost exclusively with races, both of which Newton Steward also using some read option, this choice was effective is because it has taken off seven minutes from time trial and because he Panther gave the other three points with a field goal from 42 yards Gano. New Orleans under the score of 20 points was faced with a defense of Carolina even more conservative than before and therefore had to continue to attack with short passes (screens and quick-out wheels) and ran, the Saints converting two down quarters have come to near the endzone but once they were stopped by the defense of the Panthers forcing Lutz to kick and make a field goal from 30 yards that opened the fourth quarter. Guests have scored seven more points in their next drive, starting from the middle of the field thanks to a good punt return of the rookie Murphy followed by three very good races running back Tim Hightower who read it right blocks to lead his team behind the endzone where Brees has launched its first TD pass of the wide receiver Coleman playing the slot that beat marking McClain man with a vertical Seem route. The Saints thanks to two great drives of his defense had the opportunity to bring the deficit to a single possession of difference and this time Brees has not missed leading their team to touchdown scored by Fleener also favored even on a curl route from 'Luke Kuechly injury, the best defender of the Panthers wore off after an apparent knee injury. New Orleans to have the last possession and try to draw or win the game had to force the attacker to Carolina three and out quickly but on the third defensive coordinator Dennis Allen down the Saints decided not blitzare Cam Newton giving him time to pass the ball Benjamin iN on a route that gave to all intents and purposes the first down and the victory to the Panthers.
