Saints vs. Eagles: New Orleans Grades, Notes and Quotes

The New Orleans Saints went to Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field hoping to earn their second straight win, but coach Sean Payton’s club was overwhelmed in the second half by the Eagles in a lopsided 39-17 defeat.

With the loss, New Orleans fell to 1-4 on the season, while Philadelphia improved to 2-3.

The Saints got off to a decent start in the game and drew first blood with a Drew Brees-to-Benjamin Watson touchdown pass on their second possession. New Orleans made a defensive stop on the Eagles’ opening drive, and the Saints came up with consecutive interceptions in their own end zone on Philadelphia’s next two possessions.
