It appeared last season was headed down the same path until both teams went in opposite directions with Carolina losing seven of their last eight and New Orleans winning 13 total games – although the Panthers secured a win in the finale that featured a lot of second-team play from each.
The Saints are sure to be on a revenge course in 2019 after feeling cheated out of their own Super Bowl appearance last year due to a non-call on what was perceived to be pass interference late in their game against the Rams. Carolina is trying to rebound from a second half collapse and return to the playoffs for a fifth time under Rivera and ninth in franchise history.
Now that the schedule has been released, the countdown to kickoff can officially begin.
