NEW ORLEANS -- Carolina coach Ron Rivera has a message for the rest of the NFC: You don't want any of the New Orleans Saints. "If you put the tape on and watch how they played against Atlanta and watch how they played against us and the first thing you say to yourself is, 'Wow, I hope we don't have to play them,'" Rivera said after watching the Saints whip his Panthers 45-17 on Sunday. "Whoever's playing them is playing a very good football team that's on a hot roll right now."
