METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints linebacker Willie Gay was among a number of players reading social media on the team plane in the wake of the Saints seventh straight loss Sunday.
Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan and defensive tackle Khalen Saunders lamented the loss to the 2-7 Carolina Panthers on X, prompting a back-and-forth between members of both teams about which squad was worse.
Gay said it felt like "rock bottom" watching frustrated players using humor to cope after losing 23-22 to the Panthers, a team they beat 47-10 in Week 1.
