In a game where the New Orleans Saints were missing their top receiver and started a quarterback who had punctured 11 ribs a month prior, the Saints put up a good fight in Sunday’s 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Michael Thomas missed the game with an ankle injury, and Drew Brees looked good but clearly was not 100%. The Saints had a slow start in the first quarter, but stepped it up afterwards however, their mistakes were too big to overcome.
Here are two players who came up big, and two players who shrunk against the defending Super Bowl champions.
