Panthers Connect to Stomp the Saints

The Carolina Panthers sent the New Orleans Saints home crying from yesterday’s big Week 7 matchup at Bank of America Stadium, and their incredible 30-7 victory came after both the Carolina offense and defense showed their fangs in the form of resilience and force. Leading the mighty Carolina defense was none other than defensive end Julius Peppers, who put all kinds of pressure on Jammal Brown and the Saints offense while making three crucial tackles that include two for losses, one sack and a forced fumble.

Over 73,000 Panthers fans watched an unstoppable Carolina offense pick up where their mighty defense left off, with QB Jake Delhomme leading the pack. Delhomme went 14-of-22 passing in yesterday’s game, taking 195 yards and two touchdown passes. Cornerback Ken Lucas also contributed to the slaughter, milking the win with a third-quarter interception and 31-yard return that went all the way to the New Orleans 18-yard-line, setting up a four-yard touchdown play from Delhomme to DeAngelo Williams. Also to the Patriots’ favor, Saints running back Reggie Bush was out after halftime with a left knee injury, not coming back into the game and therefore giving Carolina a little breather.
