With 15 games and 12 wins in the books, Saints coach Sean Payton isn't about to make any changes entering the regular-season finale against the Panthers. "Our approach is going to be much like it has been," Payton said. "We're going to play all of our guys. There's still seeding at stake." The Saints can clinch the NFC's No. 2 seed and a first-round bye with a win over the Panthers and a loss by the 49ers. If the 49ers beat the Rams, or both the 49ers and Saints lose, New Orleans would be the No. 3 seed and host a first-round game. The Saints haven't lost since Oct. 30, and Payton isn't about to let off the gas pedal. "I think we're getting better as a team week to week right now," Payton said. "There's value in that. That progress might be something we need going into this postseason."
