The New Orleans Saints suffered a 35-27 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

A second interception from the Saints' Drew Brees in the last minute of the game by the Panthers' Jon Beason made them the winners.

The Panthers'offensive tackle Jordan Gross said, "I said to the guys before the game that this was a must win, and it really was, we couldn't go 0-2 to start this season off and lose at home, and lose to the Saints again. Their team has been successful the past few seasons. To set a new standard around here we had to beat them.

Saints interim coach Aaron Kromer said, "New Orleans drew a pair of tough defensive assignments to open the season". He went on to say, "We've played the most unconventional offenses in the National Football League, you go from RGIII and then to Cam Newton, they're just unconventional."

This was the first victory for the Panthers against the Saints since 2009.
