2 takeaways from the Saints win over the Chargers

Jameis had another solid game this week, completing 13 of 21 passes for 169 yards and no interceptions. He led the Saints to 13 of their 22 points while playing the entire first half. Including last week, Winston is 24/34 passing for 261 yards and a touchdown with no turnovers, all while playing primarily with the second team offense. Winston will backup Derek Carr this year, in the first season he enters as a backup since backing up Drew Brees in 2020. Carr provides much more consistency and stability, and there obviously shouldn’t be any whispers of a QB controversy here, but should Winston be forced into action this year, the Saints should still be able to win games and keep pace with him under center so long as he stays out of turnover trouble.
