Saints take 10-7 lead late in 2nd quarter

New Orleans just got a field goal from John Carney to take a 10-7 lead with 1:17 left in the second quarter.

It was the Saints' fourth drive, and for the fourth time it looked like the Saints would likely score a TD. But this time Carolina's defense stiffened inside the 20, causing a rare Drew Brees incompletion on third-and-4 from the 14, and John Carney hit a 32-yard field goal.
