Charlie Smyth kicked a 47-yard field goal in the final seconds of regulation, lifting the Saints to a 20-17 comeback victory over the playoff-hopeful Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The winning kick by the former Gaelic football player from Northern Ireland prevented Carolina (7-7) from seizing sole possession of first place in the NFC South. It also capped another encouraging performance by rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, who won for the third time in six starts for New Orleans (4-10), which was 1-7 when the 40th overall draft choice took over in Week 9 for season-opening starter Spencer Rattler.
