Having lost three games in a row, the New Orleans Saints (5-5) were trying to avoid seeing their playoffs hopes further damaged by a home loss to the Buffalo Bills (6-4), on a night when the Saints where honoring former quarterback Drew Brees.
In the first half, the Saints’ offense would produce nothing, literally, as New Orleans trailed 10-0 at halftime. The Saints’ defense intercepted Josh Allen twice, once in the red zone, after the Saints’ offense had called and botched a fake field goal near midfield.
The Saints would then see the Bills score two unanswered touchdowns to take a 24-0 lead into the fourth quarter.
