The Saints offense couldn’t be stopped in the first two games, but yesterday New Orleans only found the end zone once in a 15 to 12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s the first loss of the season for New Orleans, but quarterback Derek Carr says they still have a good team…
“The belief is so strong in that room. Disappointed because we want it real bad. We really believe that we were gonna pull that one out but we didn’t. And so for us its about staying positive but making the corrections we have to make and working on them this week.”
The Eagles were led by running back Saquon Barkley who had two rushing touchdowns. One went for 65 yards and the other TD run was set up by a Dennis Goedert 61-yard reception. Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu says the defense played well, but allowed a couple of big plays
“You know outside of a couple of third downs I thought we played hard, I thought we played fast and there were just a couple of moments within the game where we broke down as a defense.
The Saints are now 2-and-1 and will be at the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Carr says they are facing adversity for the first time, so now they have to respond…
“You know for us its a great opportunity. You get hit in the mouth…and with that said I thought we responded to a tough gritty game. It wasn’t just bombs and this kind of stuff. We had to grind it out a little bit, and still make plays at the end and all that kind of stuff and at the end they made one more play than we did.”
