- Cameron Jordan mocks Panthers K Joey Slye for missing 65-yard field goal
Panthers kicker Joey Slye had a chance to tie the game late against the Saints in Sunday's loss.
His 65-yard field goal attempt fell just short, though. That effectively sealed a three-point win for New Orleans, a team that used to absolutely dominate these Panthers.
The close call hasn't humbled them, despite fielding a defense that looks like a shell of itself compared to last season.

After the game, the Saints' 6-foot-4, 287 pound All-Pro defensive end Cameron Jordan decided to call PFT and mock Slye, claiming that the Saints defense knew it was going to be a miss all the way.
"If anything, I don't even think we sent our edge rushers. We knew this was out of this guy's helm and it was straight and we were the entire time telling him like he wasn't gonna make it and we all knew that. I think he knew that, and that's how it played out. . . I was not surprised that he didn't make it."
As for Jordan, he was less successful going up against players his own size today. He essentially got shut out by Taylor Moton . Jordan finished the game with two forgettable tackles and made no impact on the outcome.
Organizations take on the personalities of their leaders and this New Orleans team is no exception. It's hard not to admire Alvin Kamara 's game, but overall these Saints remain a tremendously unlikeable and underachieving group considering their prodigious talent.
