In this story:

The Saints (7-9) close out the season hosting the Panthers (6-10) on Sunday. The game doesn't hold much meaning, as both teams are out of the playoff mix. However, Dennis Allen's squad is looking to finish strong and go 4-0 out of their bye week. It's also worth paying attention to today's action, as we'll get a clearer picture of their opponent outlook after this afternoon's slate of games.
