The New Orleans Saints are coming off their best win of the season, winning a dog fight against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now the Saints will be set for an NFC South rematch with the Carolina Panthers, who they beat 17-7 in Carolina earlier this season.

QB Tyler Shough

Last week, Shough made big play after big play to get the Saints their third win of the season. If he has a similar performance to his first time playing (and defeating) the Panthers, his job may be officaly secured...
