Saints Routed By Panthers 23-10

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton decided the risk of injury outweighed heading into the playoffs on a positive note. The backups responded with an ugly performance that sends the No. 1 seed in the NFC to the postseason on a three-game losing streak. Drew Brees(notes) came out for the coin toss and never saw the field again, allowing him to break the NFL record for completion percentage in a season.
