Panthers up 6-0 after settling for field goals

Carolina Panthers v New Orleans Saints

at Mercedes-Benz Superdome on December 8, 2013 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Panthers have been successful at keeping the Saints fans from breaking noise records early.

But they haven’t been able to break into the end zone.

A pair of drives have chewed up most of the first quarter, but they had to settle for field goals both times for a 6-0 lead over the Saints.

The Panthers walked in with a plan to run, shorten the game and play field position. So far, it’s working, as the Saints went three-and-out on their first possession.

But you get the sense that’s only sustainable for so long.
