The Carolina Panthers may want to petition the NFL to cancel fourth quarters, but they hung on for a 23-20 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday at Bank of America Stadium.
Carolina entered the final period with a 23-3 lead, but New Orleans scored 17 unanswered points and had the ball with an opportunity to win in the final seconds.
The Panthers, however, tackled receiver Michael Thomas at their 43-yard line as time expired.
Carolina allowed the Kansas City Chiefs to score 20 straight points—including 17 in the fourth quarter—in a 20-17 loss Sunday, so the late collapse was nothing new.
The defending NFC champions and Saints are each 4-6 after Thursday's contest, with both looking up at the 6-4 Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South.
Cam Newton threw for 192 yards and a touchdown, which helped the Panthers make up for an abysmal performance on the ground. They ran for just 50 yards on 27 carries, though Jonathan Stewart did score a touchdown.
