The New Orleans Saints moved to an impressive 4-1 on the season after just barely getting by Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers by a score of 30-27.

First off, Newton is impressive. The Panthers have certainly made life easier for him by instituting a bunch of plays from his days in college, but give the guy credit– He’s a player already.

After being down through three quarters of play, the Panthers took a late lead on a Greg Olsen touchdown. Fortunately Drew Brees and the Saints offense did their usual thing, easily storming down the field on an 89-yard drive to score the winning touchdown.

The Panthers again kept the game close the entire way (as has been the story of their season), but if you give Brees a chance to beat you late, it’s often you’re going to regret it. This game wasn’t any exception.

MVP of the game is Jimmy Graham, who once again stood out as Drew’s favorite target He had a game high 8 catches for 129 yards, while Darren Sproles rumbled for 91 yards rushing and receiving.

On defense, Patrick Robinson recorded an interception to start off the game and later blocked a PAT. He nearly blocked another PAT later in the game, missing by just inches.
