NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Eddy Pineiro kicked a 42-yard field goal as time expired, and the Carolina Panthers closed out their season with an opportunistic 10-7 victory over the New Orleans Saints. The Saints outgained Carolina 304 yards to 203. But the game remained tight until the end because of New Orleans’ inability to score on multiple drives inside the Panthers 40-yard line. Sam Darnold set up the winning kick with a 21-yard pass to Terrace Marshall Jr. Darnold finished 5 of 15 for 43 yards and was intercepted twice, winning despite having a quarterback rating of 2.8. The Saints were in position to win after a late interception, but Wil Lutz missed a 55-yard field goal attempt.
