JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The New Orleans Saints watched their primary offensive and defensive starters -- aside from the resting Drew Brees and Cameron Jordan -- play just two series Thursday night before inserting the reserves in the preseason opener at TIAA Bank Field.
At the midway point of the second quarter, when the starters were done, the Saints had played the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 10-10 draw.
The Saints and Jaguars flip flopped with their scoring methods through the early portion of the game. The Jaguars opened the game with a 79-yard touchdown drive, scoring on a 2-yard run by quarterback Blake Bortles.
