Saints vs. Packers Game Recap

Related Topics: Derek Carr, New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints suffered their first loss of the season in dramatic fashion as they blew a 17-point lead in the 4th quarter falling to Green Bay Packers 18-17. The Saints controlled much of this game with a stifling defense, containing QB Jordan Love and the Packers offense for much of the day. It wasn’t until Saints QB Derek Carr left the game where things got interesting.

Early in the game, the Saints moved the ball a bit more effectively than they had in previous early quarters. On the teams second drive of the game, they were able to cap off a 9-play, 56-yard drive with an 8-yard touchdown to TE Jimmy Graham.
