Carolina Panthers: NFC South Week 6 preview and results
Week 5: New Orleans Saints 43, Washington Redskins 19
New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees became the NFL all-time passing yards leader in convincing fashion as his team routed Washington in front of a national audience. The Saints used four first-half touchdowns to build their lead and if not for one costly fumble, the margin of victory may have been more.
Week 6: BYE
Entering their bye New Orleans sits atop the NFC South division before facing Baltimore in a Week 7 road contest. Rebounding from a season opening loss to divisional rival Tampa Bay, the two teams (Carolina Panthers) which could be tied at the top both have an NFC South loss on their resume.
