It was the kind of game that took the Saints the full 60 minutes to win.  When it was over fans were eager to talk. 

"Thank goodness for our kicker Wil Lutz," said this man.  "That's 2 big-time games, the first game of the season and this game here."

"That game was a nailbiter," said this woman.  "Got a little nervous those last few seconds, but we got on our feet and started cheering for those Saints and we get the win." 

Some fans weren't happy with the referees,  

"I thought the offense looked good, I think the defense had lapses at times, but when it comes to the officiating it is very consistent that when you go to replay, why can't you get the call correct," this concerned fan said.   

"I think that the fans that have some concerns need to let it roll, we have injuries, we'll be fine," said this fan. 

With the win over the Carolina Panthers the Saints are just one game away from clinching the NFC South Division, for the third year in a row.  

Next it's a short week as they travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons Thanksgiving night.
