The Carolina Panthers' struggles continued in their opening game of the 2024 NFL season, as they suffered a humiliating 47-10 defeat against the New Orleans Saints. Quarterback Bryce Young faltered, throwing an interception on his first attempt and finishing the game with a dismal passing rating.

New coach Dave Canales faced severe challenges, with the team trailing significantly early and making costly mistakes that disrupted their rhythm. Canales remains optimistic about overcoming adversity but acknowledged the dire need for improvement.
