As good as the Saints were in their week one win over Green Bay, they were just as bad yesterday in a 26-7 loss to the Carolina Panthers. New Orleans had just 128 yards of total offense and they hit Quarterback Jameis Winston 11 times and sacked him four times. Winston was also intercepted twice. Coach Sean Payton takes the blame for the loss
Cut 16 (16) “…football game.”
The 128 yards is the fewest yards gained in a game for the Saints since 2001. And it’s the Black and Gold’s first loss to Carolina since 2018.

Tampa Bay improved to 2-0 on the season with a 48-25 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The Cowboys evened their record to 1-and-1 with a 20-17 win over the Chargers. Greg Zuerlein’s 56-yard field goal as time expired was the game winner. Joe Burrow was intercepted three times in a three point loss to the Bears.

LSU Quarterback Max Johnson threw for 372 yards and five touchdowns as the Fighting Tigers offense came to life in a 48-21 win over Central Michigan. Freshman Deion Smith had two touchdown catches and fellow freshman Jack Bech had a great-handed one-handed grab in the end zone. Bech believes they can build momentum from Saturday’s performance
Cut 19 (20) “…the field.”
The Tigers are at Mississippi State for an 11 AM kick-off.
