CARSON, Calif. -- The New Orleans Saints went for 2 after each of their four touchdowns in Saturday's preseason victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, but don't expect this to become a trend when the regular season begins in two weeks.
According to coach Sean Payton, the decision to go for 2 each time didn't come until the game began, and the goal was just to practice situations that could arise during the season.
"We just felt like and I felt like just getting some work and changing up some looks," Payton said. "I'm confident enough with our PAT operation, and when you're trying to get snaps for the quarterbacks, which we're trying to do here, there are just more opportunities to look at both that position and more opportunities to look at the running back position and just more snaps to evaluate.
