Overview
- The New Orleans Saints beat the Baltimore Ravens 24-17 on Sunday to move to 1-1 after overcoming a 14-6 halftime deficit.
- Quarterback Tyler Shough completed 27 of 34 passes for 252 yards and a touchdown and capped the comeback with a 1-yard rushing score with 1:28 left.
- Edge rusher Chase Young generated consistent pressure and multiple sacks that helped limit Lamar Jackson to 8-of-15 passing for 44 yards after halftime, and safety Julian Blackmon sealed the win with an interception with 21 seconds remaining.
- Kicker Daniel Carlson kept the Saints within reach while the offense stalled early by converting three long field goals of 23, 47 and 51 yards.
- The result continues a pattern of slow starts followed by strong finishes, gives Kellen Moore’s team momentum before a three-game home stretch, and highlights Shough’s rapid early-career production that has drawn comparisons to Drew Brees’ franchise starts.
