New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton met with media personnel on Thursday, three days before his team is scheduled to take on the Carolina Panthers in a key NFC South showdown at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.

The Saints, who are 5-7 on the season, are currently tied with the Atlanta Falcons for first-place in the division, while the Panthers will come into the match-up with an overall record of 3-8-1.

New Orleans defeated Carolina, 28-10, back on October 30, in the first match-up between the two teams this season.
