A third straight loss on Monday night exposed several ongoing problems that could send the Saints season spiraling into disaster

By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI

The New Orleans Saints lost their third game in a row on Monday night, this time falling to the Kansas City Chiefs by a 26-13 mark on the road. Unlike previous losses to Philadelphia and Atlanta, there was little doubt in the outcome of this one throughout the night.

Kansas City dominated the Saints in every facet. They outgained New Orleans in total yardage, 460-220, along with a 139-46 advantage in rushing yards. The Chiefs would have won by four touchdowns or more if it weren't for five of their seven trips to the red zone that ended without a touchdown.

Some fans want to vilify coach Dennis Allen or quarterback Derek Carr. Others want to use injuries as a reason for the team's shortcomings. The reality is that the Chiefs exposed a ton of things that are wrong with the Saints.

1. Coaching

By his own admission, Dennis Allen said that his team was out-coached on Monday. This wasn't the first time that Allen has admitted this out loud and was certainly not the first time it was extremely clear when watching a game. ...

Dennis Allen made the announcement on Wednesday that Spencer Rattler will start for the New Orleans Saints versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Derek Carr sidelined with an oblique injury, it was between Rattler and Jake Haener to fill his shoes. The Saints landed on Rattler.

Rattler is the 16th quarterback to make the first start of his career with the Saints. The timeline starts with Edd Hargett in 1970 all the way to Ian Book in 2021. Those quarterbacks have a combined record of 7-8.

Here’s a history of every quarterback who made their career debut with the Saints:

3-game losing streaks have a direct tie to Saints playoff history

After being dominated by the Kansas City Chiefs, the New Orleans Saints have lost three games in a row.

We’ve taken a look at how the Saints starting 2-3 is a bad omen for the season. Here goes an even worse trend. Over the last 15 seasons, the Saints have either had a three-game losing streak or made the playoffs but never both.

That last part may feel obvious. Teams who go into a three-game losing skid typically don’t make the playoffs. However, the interesting part is the fact New Orleans has had a three-game losing streak every time they missed the playoffs.

The Saints won the Super...

New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Khalen Saunders delivered the play of the game on Monday Night when he intercepted Patrick Mahomes then took off. He caught the pass in the end zone and never considered going down for a touchback. Saunders returned the ball to the 35-yard line, displaying surprising athleticism.

Well, it wasn’t that surprising if you were a member of the Kansas City Chiefs from 2019 to 2022. Justin Reid revealed to Kay Adams that Saunders used to show them his high school highlight tape on a yearly basis. Adams was able to get the highlights in enough time for the two...

5 potential Saints WR trade targets not named Davante Adams

The New Orleans Saints are among the NFL’s teams expected to be in the trade market for a wide receiver, and while a lot of the talk has revolved around Davante Adams as the top option, there are other names to consider as well before the Nov. 5 trade deadline. And the Saints need help. They don’t have a single wide receiver on the roster who has eclipsed 100 yards in a game this year.

And one recent report from ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter makes things even more interesting.

“I think the events in New York and the events in New Orleans may have slowed down talks with those two teams, and we’ll see if and when they can pick up some steam,”

The New Orleans Saints, who began the season 2-0, are now 2-3 five weeks into the 2024 season. The last three weeks have not been pretty, and now they have to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a game that could have big implications down the road.

The biggest news heading into this game is Derek Carr, who is all but officially ruled out for this game and is expected to miss at least two weeks with an oblique injury. Just a day after this was announced, Saints Head Coach Dennis Allen announced in his post practice press conference that they decided Spencer Rattler is going to start on...

The New Orleans Saints deep threat turned in another great game on Monday. He caught 4 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown on a 43-yard bomb in the second quarter. Shaheed has emerged as a legitimate WR2 and one of the best deep threats in the NFL, as this is his fourth game of the year with 70+ yards and third with a 40+ yard touchdown catch. Shaheed was the lone bright spot on what was a rough evening for the Saints offense.

The Saints managed to rush for just 46 yards on 15 attempts on Monday night. The offensive line wasn’t able to create many opportunities for Alvin Kamara as the...
