Overview

• New Orleans conceded 38 first-half points in Seattle, the first time the franchise has allowed that many before halftime.
• The Saints were flagged 11 times for 77 yards and have 31 penalties through three games, tied for the most in the NFL.
• Special teams unraveled with a 95-yard punt return allowed, a blocked punt that ended a 222-game streak without one, a 60-yard kickoff return, and another missed field goal by Blake Grupe.
• Run defense held up by limiting Seattle to 87 rushing yards and 2.6 yards per carry, but Sam Darnold went 14-of-18 for 218 yards against a leaky pass defense.
• A depleted offensive line lacked Taliese Fuaga, Trevor Penning and Dillon Radunz, and edge rusher Chase Young remains out with a calf strain as Moore presses for cleaner execution.
