The New Orleans Saints had good news and bad news on Sunday. The good news is that nearly every team ahead of them in the NFC standings suffered a loss, often at the hands of an opponent many presumed to be inferior. The bad news is that the Saints also lost Sunday, at the hands of an opponent many presumed to be inferior.
Surprisingly, quarterback wasn’t a problem position for the Saints in Sunday’s 27-25 loss. Rather, receivers couldn’t seem to catch anything thrown their way. After conducting a strong comeback after being down 24-6, the Saints’ offense watched helplessly as the Falcons won the game on Younghoe Koo kick as time expired.
