The New Orleans Saints ended their 2017 preseason campaign with a 14-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The Saints had a chance to win but Wil Lutz's 59-yard field-goal attempt with 13 seconds left missed to the right.
The real season for the Saints begins Monday, Sept. 11 against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis. It's the first game of an opening weekend doubleheader of ESPN's "Monday Night Football" with a 6:10 p.m. kickoff.
Most of the Saints' starters - including star quarterback Drew Brees - sat out the final game leaving the action to players who are battling to make the final 53-man roster, which has to be completed by Saturday afternoon.
