The New Orleans Saints finished off the regular season with a banging win against the Carolina Panthers to sweep the division and end 12-4.

The New Orleans Saints blasted their last divisional game and regular-season game of the 2020 NFL season. They beat the Carolina Panthers 33-7 yesterday on the back of four New Orleans touchdowns and two field goals.

Outside of one touchdown that the Panthers scored midway through the first quarter, it was all black and gold in this one. The first touchdown is owned by Jared Cook on an 18-yard bullet from Drew Brees early in the first quarter.

The second touchdown was grabbed by Emmanuel Sanders from eight yards out in response to the Panthers’ touchdown. The team ended the half with a 33-yard Wil Lutz field goal to go up 16-7 at the end of the first half.

Wil Lutz led off the second half with a field goal followed by a Taysom Hill rushing touchdown followed by an Austin Carr touchdown. After all that was said and done, the Saints walked away ready for the NFL Playoff next week.

Here are the top three performers from the Week 17 regular-season finale.
