Derek Carr led the New Orleans Saints to a commanding 47-10 win over the Carolina Panthers, throwing three touchdowns and completing 19 of 23 passes.

The Saints established dominance early, scoring on all first nine possessions, while Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams contributed on the ground. In contrast, the Panthers struggled under new coach Dave Canales, with Bryce Young facing multiple difficulties, including two interceptions.

The game marked a disappointing start for Carolina, who hoped for an improved season after a tumultuous previous year.
