The next chapter in the New Orleans Saints' rivalry with the Carolina Panthers will be written on Sunday at the start of the 2024 regular season, but which team is ahead in the all-time series history? If you include their matchup in the 2017 postseason, the Saints have built a 31-28 lead on the Panthers since Carolina entered the league back in 1995.

It's been a tight series ever since, though the NFC South wasn't formed until 2002. And the Panthers have continued to catch the Saints at bad times with a season sweep in 2022, winning three of their last six games. But New Orleans got the last laugh in 2023 with back-to-back wins, and they're looking to build off that momentum with a Week 1 win.

Here's a look at the highlight reels from several recent meetings:

2022, Week 18
