Saints on brink as Panthers flophome/Sports/Top Sports/Saints on brink as Panthers flopLOS ANGELES: The New Orleans Saints moved to the brink of clinching homefield advantage throughout the playoffs after squeezing past the Carolina Panthers 12-9 on Monday (Tuesday in Manila). Saints quarterback Drew Brees was held to 203 yards after a superb defensive effort from the Panthers, who needed to win to have any realistic chance of keeping their season alive. Alvin Kamara then galloped over from 16 yards out to give the Saints a 12-7 lead early in the fourth quarter. That case remains active even though Reid was picked up by the Panthers in September after the 2018 season kicked off. However, since joining the Panthers, Reid has drawn attention to frequent requests by independent doping control staff to submit to drug testing.
