Carolina 9 New Orleans 6

John Kasay

John Kasay's 3 field goals were all the scoring the Panthers could muster, but it was enough to hold off the visiting Saints, 9-6 in a classic defensive struggle.  Derrick Moore was the only offensive highlight for Carolina, gaining 97yds on the ground.  Jim Everett completed 24 of 44 for 244yds for New Orleans, but his interception in the final seconds when the Saints were in field goal range, sealed the win for the Panthers.
