Haener starts vs Commanders: 1 INT, 5 punts ; Rattler replaced Haener in 2H: led to 19 points

Needed to win one of final 3 games and lost to MN, Cincinnati and Carolina who combined won maybe 13 games that season.
All three were in last place, and MN scored a TD as time expired then instead of kicking to tie, they went for 2 to win. Daunte Culpepper literally dropped the snap, but somehow then waltzed it into the end zone for the 2 and we lost.

That was one of my first lessons as a Saints fan in how their poor luck goes and it was preparation for future disappointments.
