So much for the idea of improving each week in the preseason.
The New Orleans Saints' offense was downright dreadful throughout Saturday's 16-9 loss to the Houston Texans -- from the starters on down.
The Saints officially had only three turnovers (interceptions thrown by Drew Brees and Garrett Grayson and a fumbled kickoff return by Marcus Murphy). But the ball seemed to be on the ground all night, from dropped passes to fumbles that were overturned by penalties or replays. They couldn't score touchdowns, they couldn't protect Brees and they couldn't run the ball to save their lives.
Coach Sean Payton said "it was as bad as we've been in a while" offensively, and "it was across the board."
