The biggest matchup of the day? Drew Brees vs. Josh Norman, a guaranteed chess match that will play out with Saints wide receivers playing the part of pawns. But other storylines infuse the NFC South narrative. Cam Newton continues to twist the traditional mold of an MVP candidate. Luke Kuechly has his own Defensive Player of the Year bona fides. And Carolina is not yet in the clear in clinching a No. 1 seed as the Cardinals light it up in Arizona. So don’t expect the Panthers to take it easy in the Big Easy.
