An NFC South rivalry is on tap between the Carolina Panthers (0-2) and the New Orleans Saints (1-1) on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. The Panthers enter Week 3 in search of their first win of the season after losing their first two games to the Browns and Giants by a combined five points. The Saints are coming off a hard-fought 20-10 NFC South loss to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

What you need to know the about Saints

The Panthers have historically had a great deal of success against quarterback Jameis Winston. In 10 career starts against the Panthers, Winston has a 4-6 record, 16 interceptions, eight fumbles lost, and only nine touchdown passes. In his lone start against the Panthers in 2021, Winston had 111 yards passing, took four sacks and threw two interceptions.

Ball security will be a point of emphasis for the Saints this week after the team turned the ball over five times in the second half of their Week 2 loss to Tampa Bay. Defensively, New Orleans has played below expectations in 2022, but faces a favorable matchup against a struggling Carolina offense in Week 3.

What you need to know about the Panthers

The Panthers are in desperate need of a win with Matt Rhule feeling the heat in Carolina. One area the Panthers need to be better in is in the turnover department. Through two games, Carolina has yet to record a takeaway, while they have turned the ball over three times -- all coming at the hands of quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Mayfield has been inconsistent in his first season with the Panthers, and will need to show signs of improvement, or the calls for Sam Darnold will follow. The 2017 Heisman Trophy winner has complete 53.6% of his passes for 380 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also has two fumbles lost and a quarterback rating of 79.5.
