CHARLOTTE (BLACK & BLUE KICKOFF LIVE) -- The Panthers are playing some of their best ball in the Dave Canales era, and it should continue in Week 10 with a favorable matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

With a win on Sunday, the Panthers would start 2-0 in the NFC South for the first time since 2022.

In Week 9, the Saints made the move to start rookie quarterback Tyler Shough for the rest of the season and bench Spencer Rattler. In Shough's debut, he went 15/24 for 176 with one touchdown and one interception in a 34-10 loss against the Los Angeles Rams.
