NEW ORLEANS – For a minute there, it looked like Taysom Hill’s legs might just inject some life into the New Orleans Saints’ flailing offense on Thursday night. But then the wheels came off when he threw three interceptions of his four total in a fourth-quarter implosion, allowing the Dallas Cowboys to run away with a 27-17 victory.
The Saints (5-7) have now lost five consecutive games in the same season for the first time in the Sean Payton era. The only glimmer of hope left for their playoff chances is that they’ll have nine days off before visiting to the New York Jets in Week 14.
