METAIRIE, La. - The New Orleans Saints gave up 30 fewer points in their second game of the season than they did in their first.
The improvement from a 48-41 loss to Tampa Bay to a 21-18 victory against Cleveland was significant, but a couple of lapses that could have altered the outcome tainted the performance.
"Defensively, I thought we were real good until the final two drives," Saints head coach Sean Payton said Monday.
New Orleans took its first lead of the game (18-12) with 2:40 left. The defense had a chance to virtually seal the victory with a stop, but on fourth-and-5 it allowed a 47-yard touchdown pass from Tyrod Taylor to Antonio Callaway.
