Overview
- New Orleans was flagged 13 times, its most since 2017, repeatedly stalling drives and extending Arizona possessions.
- Spencer Rattler went 27 of 46 for 214 yards with no turnovers and one sack as the Saints outgained the Cardinals 315-276 with a 21-19 edge in first downs.
- Brandon Staley’s defense allowed 276 yards and sacked Kyler Murray five times, and a blocked field goal plus a late three-and-out set up a final shot.
- With four seconds left, Budda Baker jarred the ball loose from Juwan Johnson at the goal line to prevent a tying touchdown.
- Kellen Moore took responsibility for the discipline lapses, while injuries loomed with safety Julian Blackmon’s shoulder possibly season-ending and updates pending on Taliese Fuaga’s knee, Trevor Penning’s foot, and Chase Young’s calf.
