The New Orleans Saints suffered an implosion on Sunday that saw them drop a game against the now 4-8-1 Philadelphia Eagles. Plenty went wrong, but the easiest way to sum up the issues is that the team failed in all three phases of the game.
The offense looked stale, much of that can be attributed to the playcalling and backup quarterback Taysom Hill’s decision making. On the other side of the ball, the defense looked incapable of containing Eagles rookie backup quarterback Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia’s run game. Even the Saints special team unit looked worse for wear after kicker Wil Lutz missed two field goals, easily a game changing factor.
