Chris Olave opened up the scoring for the New Orleans Saints last game of the season at home against the Carolina Panthers. It was Olave’s fourth touchdown catch of the season, and his first since the Saints’ Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He has also now crossed 1,000 yards for the season.
Olave has run fantastic routes this season, but showed off some nice after-the-catch ability on this scoring play. He was able to shake off the Panthers defender and accelerate for a big touchdown from 20 yards out. His development this season has been huge, this just being another step he has taken to being a dominant receiver for years to come. Andy Dalton has started the game off very well, the trust built between the two has been very encouraging to see.
