The Saints put forth a valiant comeback attempt following a terrible first quarter and a 17-point deficit, but ended up pissing away a late-game lead thanks to sloppy play and stupid penalties. Sound familiar? But the story of the game were all the injuries to Saints players.
First Quarter
- A lot of new faces and jersey numbers on the Saints defense. It's going to take a little while to memorize them all and remember who is who.
- The Saints defense appears to pick up exactly where they left off last season, letting the Ravens move easily and efficiently down the field on a 16-play 80-yard drive that takes 8 minutes off the clock.
