Two touchdowns from Marques Colston have put the New Orleans Saints in control against the Carolina Panthers in the NFL.
The Saints, who were thrashed 34-7 by the Seattle Seahawks last time out, lead the Panthers 21-6 at half time at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Graham Gano kicked two field goals to give the Panthers a 6-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
However, the Saints went ahead at the start of the second when Drew Brees found Colston in the endzone for an eight-yard score.
Brees then set-up Colston for a 15-yard score, before New Orleans recorded their third touchdown with 18 seconds of the first half remaining when Jimmy Graham was on the receiving end of the pass from Brees.
