The Carolina Panthers sacked New Orleans QB Drew Brees just twice in the first game after they were unable to get a consistent pass rush from its front four.

The Panthers changed the game plan in the second half, increasing their pressure by blitzing Brees in the second half.

Going into the biggest game of the year in the NFC South, the Panthers want revenge for a 31-13 loss against the Saints at the Superdome on Dec. 8.

"That seemed to help us, to get him moving his feet and get him to throw the ball a little bit quicker," Rivera said., via Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer.

"If you give him time – you give him an opportunity to sit back there and find his throwing lanes, he’s very, very effective."

"Statistically, you know (Brees) is pretty darned good against the blitz. We knew it going in last time. We know it going in this time," defensive coordinator Sean McDermott said.

"Most great quarterbacks are better when you blitz them because they want to see it. They want to get the ball out and into the receivers’ hands. Drew’s no different," McDermott added.

"We’ll have to be smart. We’ll have to cover well if and when we do blitz. But as we all know, to let a great quarterback sit back there and pick you apart, that’s not the way to go, either. It’s a real slippery slope."
