Following a loss on the road to the Atlanta Falcons, the New Orleans Saints returned home to the Caesars Superdome for a matchup with the Detroit Lions. The Black and Gold found themselves in a huge 21-point hole early. New Orleans battled back and made it a one-score game late but dropped to 5-7 in the 33-28 loss.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
The Lions received the ball to begin the first and kept the ball on the ground with David Montgomery getting the ball on the first four plays. Rookie Jahmyr Gibbs got passed on Alontae Taylor for a rush of 36 yards following a roughing the passer call on Carl Granderson. Montgomery finished the opening drive with a stretch to the right for a two-yard touchdown.
Derek Carr and the Saints offense’s first possession of the game didn’t last long. Derek Carr rolled out right to dump it off tight end Juwan Johnson. The football bounced out of Johnson’s hands and got intercepted by Brian Branch.
Detroit started at the New Orleans 17-yard line and made it a 14-point game quickly. Quarterback Jared Goff connected with rookie Sam LaPorta over the middle for the 13-yard score.
Following a New Orleans three-and-out, the Lions had a second three-play drive that resulted in a touchdown. On 2nd & 10, LaPorta made a 29-yard catch, and Amon-Ra St. Brown ran past the entire Saints defense and found paydirt from 25 yards out. Detroit was up 21-0 with 8:15 left in the first quarter.

There was a lot of Detroit Lions blue in the stands for Sunday’s game at the Caesars Superdome, which saw cheers for the New Orleans Saints drowned out by visiting fans.
It’s a real shame. The Saints cultivated a strong “Domefield advantage” for years when Sean Payton and Drew Brees were running the show, making the historic venue one of the NFL’s toughest environments to play in. Derek Carr and Dennis Allen don’t bring the same inspiring presences those two future Hall of Famers once did.

NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints dropped their third straight game Sunday to the Lions. They fell behind by 21-0 in the first quarter but rallied to cut into the Lions' lead in the second half. Starting quarterback Derek Carr left the game early in the fourth quarter with back, shoulder, and head injuries after taking a brutal hit from Bruce Irvin.
Jameis Winston replaced Carr. Winston led the Saints to a touchdown in his first drive to cut the Lions' lead to 5. The Saints had the ball with a chance to take the lead in the last three minutes but turned the ball over on downs. The...

What went right, what went wrong for the Saints against the Lions
Dennis Allen and the New Orleans Saints fell to 5-7 this year with a 33-28 loss to the Detroit Lions, and it wasn’t pretty. The good news is the Saints showed a lot of fight after a calamitous first quarter. The bad news is that their efforts weren’t enough to outweigh those early-game mistakes.
So what went right?
What went wrong?
And what’s the bottom line?
We’re going to answer each of those questions and break down the game:

The latest New Orleans Saints losing streak extended to three games after the black and gold fell short to the Detroit Lions. It’s disappointing, but not surprising: this is what a Dennis Allen-led team looks like. The Saints’ 5-7 record is the best Allen has ever had after Week 13 in his five years as an NFL head coach.
Look at his resume. The Saints were 4-9 at this point last season. Allen went 3-9 and 4-8 in his first two years with the Raiders, who dismissed him before he could reach this point in his third season. Five wins in a dozen games is the ceiling for what Allen is capable...

Afterwards head coach Dennis Allen confirmed what the team had previously announced: Carr entered concussion protocol and underwent evaluation for injuries to his shoulder and back.

Week 13 late games open thread
Week 13 continues and the late slate of games are ready to kickoff! Now that the New Orleans Saints have concluded their early-afternoon game, we turn our attention to a trio of interesting matchups. Here is today’s late slate:
Carolina at Tampa Bay
Cleveland at Los Angeles Rams
San Francisco at Philadelphia
The most interesting matchup of the late slate for Saints fans is the Bucs hosting the Panthers. It almost seems like a no-win with both teams being hated by Saints fans, but thankfully one of them will lose. Honestly though, the most important game in the second half of the day is...

Sam LaPorta has career day for Lions, Saints QB Derek Carr hurt as Detroit wins 33-28
Sam LaPorta had career highs of nine catches for 140 yards, including an early touchdown and a crucial first-down snag in the final minutes, and the Detroit Lions defeated the reeling New Orleans Saints 33-28 on Sunday to post their best record through 12 games since 1962.
The Saints lost quarterback Derek Carr in the fourth quarter to back, shoulder and head injuries. Carr was hurt on a penalized hit by Bruce Irvin, who drove the weight of his body into the quarterback.
Jared Goff passed for 213 yards and two TDs for the Lions (9-3), who raced to a three-touchdown lead and then held off...

Saints' second-half heroics can't make up for mistakes in loss to Lions
You can’t say the New Orleans Saints don’t have any fight in them. They rallied from a 21-0 deficit to keep it close with the Detroit Lions in the second half, but it wasn’t enough: that late-game effort couldn’t make up for their mistakes early on. The Lions left as victors with a 33-28 final score.
What went wrong? Derek Carr missed an open receiver to force the ball to his tight end on the first play from scrimmage, which was dropped and intercepted by the Detroit defense, setting up a short field on their next touchdown-scoring drive. Things got worse before they got better.
