Eddy Pineiro looked good in warmups, including hitting from 57 one direction, before turning around and hitting from 58 going the other way. (Got to factor in the AC.)
Derek Carr and Bryce Young started out under center in Week 1’s kickoff game, but neither team’s starting quarterback had their helmet on by the final whistle. The New Orleans Saints beat the Carolina Panthers in a 47-10 landslide, with backup quarterbacks Jake Haener and Andy Dalton closing this one out. Head coach Dennis Allen, offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, and special teams coach Darren Rizzi clearly did a great job preparing their team.
So what did we learn? What’s the story from this game? And what’s coming up next? Here’s everything we know after the Saints started the new season with a win

The New Orleans Saints’ strong start to Week 1 has continued late into the second quarter, as Tyrann Mathieu forced a fumble on Jonathan Mingo and then recovered it through the scrum of players going for it.
This is Mathieu’s first forced fumble and first recovery since 2022 when he got his first for the Saints and only to date for his new team. Mathieu did a great job sticking with the play and running along behind Mingo before diving out and punching the ball from behind, which knocked it out onto the ground and into the scrum

Juwan Johnson’s first catch of the year went for a New Orleans Saints touchdown.
Johnson returned from a foot injury when the Saints returned to New Orleans for the latter portion of training camp. He hasn’t been back for long, but he’s already making an impact.
Rashid Shaheed set up the offense with a short field after a dynamic punt return to the Panthers’ 16 yard line. One play later, the Saints were celebrating in the end zone

It’s the first New Orleans Saints game of the 2024 regular season, which means it’s time to check the first Demario Davis pregame speech, which you can watch here.
The team’s charismatic leader picked up where Drew Brees left off and maintained this tradition of fiery speeches and group chants to get his teammates fired up, and it’s always worth watching as the first highlight of game day.
Davis’ message for Week 1? We’re about to jump out of the airplane and skydive, so strap in and trust the guys around you. It’s time to go to work
Unfortunately, the beginning of the latest chapter for Carolina Panthers football looked a lot like the previous story.
Here’s everything we know from Sunday’s regular-season opener in New Orleans . . .

The Saints never allowed the Panthers a centimeter of oxygen, dialing up a 59-yard touchdown pass to Shaheed on the very first possession of the afternoon. Then, on Carolina’s very first touch, Young was picked off on his very first pass of the season by cornerback Will Harris
