Mac & Bone Recap Panthers Loss in New Orleans

Looking to take control of the NFC South yesterday, the Panthers instead blew a 17-7 lead on the road, and lost to the lowly Saints for a second time, 20-17, to fall back to .500, at 7-7. Carolina looked poised to improve to 8-6, after opening the game with a touchdown, and building a double digit lead in the second half.
