Saints fans at yesterday’s game at the Superdome were ecstatic to see their team pull off their first win of the 2025 season – a 26-14 come-from-behind win over the New York Giants.
Not only is it the Saints’ first win of the season, and not only is it Kellen Moore’s first win as an NFL head coach – but it’s also Spencer Rattler’s first win as an NFL starting quarterback in 11 tries. Fans were thrilled for the former South Carolina Gamecock.
When the Saints took a 16-14 lead as time ran out in the first half, that was their first lead all season long. The Saints will try to make it two in a row this Sunday at the Superdome against New England.

Another company announces an investment in Lafayette. Baton Rouge-based electrical contractor MMR announces that it’s expanding its footprint in Louisiana by investing in a new assembly plant in Lafayette. Economic Development Secretary Susan Bourgeois says it’s a huge win for both Lafayette and the state.
Cut 5 (13) “…an industrial contractor.”
That will create 200 direct new jobs with an average annual salary of 85-thousand dollars a year, along with more than 300 indirect new jobs. This comes on the heels of Friday’s announcement of Houston-based drone manufacturer DMR moving into a facility in Lafayette that it’s currently renovating. Bourgeois says the drones DMR will be building will have several applications which are germane to Louisiana.
Cut 6 (11) “…economy is future-proofing.”
Bourgeois says the announcements by MMR and DMR are the latest examples of how Louisiana is becoming a technology hub for the country.
Cut 7 (12) “…kind of manufacturing.”

The attorney for former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy says video evidence and other data collected show he was not responsible for a fatal crash that occurred last December in Thibodaux. State Police charged Lacy with negligent homicide, and other charges. But Matthew Ory says based on body camera footage and a report from the Lafourche Parish District Attorney, Lacy’s vehicle was far behind the fatal head-on collision…
Ory made those comments on HTV 10 News on Friday. State Police released a statement that stands by their investigation, which alleges Lacy was swerving, passing cars and his reckless operation caused the series of crash events.
When Lacy was arrested in January, L-S-P issued a statement that says Lacy’s Dodge Charger illegally passed multiple vehicles, which caused a Kia Cadenza to swerve to avoid the Charger, which then crashed head on-with a Kia Sorrento. A passenger in the Sorrento, 78-year-old Herman Hall, died from his injuries.
Ory also provided evidence during the extensive HTV 10 News interview that driver number two, was eating Funyuns and tailgating before colliding with the other vehicle and was supposed to be cited…
State Police also says Lacy drove around the crash scene and fled south on LA Hwy 20 without stopping to render aid, call emergency services, or report his involvement in the crash.
Ory made it clear during the HTV 10 interview the evidence he provided was collected by the Lafourche Parish District Attorney’s Office and the last statement of their report, contradicts what State Police has said…
Cut 10 (11) “…72 yards in front of him.”
Lacy took his life on April 12th in Houston, two days before a grand jury was set to hear the evidence against him.
