NEW ORLEANS — Preseason Week 2 for Sean Payton and the Saints didn’t start off well, and it was a huge reason the team lost to the Cardinals on Friday night.
The Cardinals won the toss and elected to defer to the second half, giving Taysom Hill and company a chance to make something happen to open the game. Brandon Tate got things going with a good 40-yard kick return to put the Saints at their own 37-yard-line. Hill had a good looking drive going until he was picked off from a tipped pass intended for Cameron Meredith — it was a ball that should have been caught.
