Saints rookie ruled out for the rest of the season with injury

Saints rookie ruled out for the rest of the season with injury

Well, it happened again.

What are the odds? Saints march into Week 3 as 7-point underdogs vs. the Seahawks

On Sunday afternoon, we saw the New Orleans Saints suffer another disappointing loss at home this time to the San Francisco 49ers. In a game that they never led in but was still not out of reach, the Saints tried to put together a 4th quarter comeback but fell short in the final 2 minutes.

Welcome to Saints Game Day!

Today:

San Francisco 49ers (1-0) at New Orleans Saints (0-1)

The Saints face the 49ers at home in the Caesars Superdome today in Week 2. After a close loss at home last week against Arizona, the Saints now face another NFC West opponent, one they have a lot of history with. San Francisco may be the walking wounded at key spots on offense, but they remain a three-point road favorite in New Orleans. The Saints should use this as motivation as they look to even their record.
