Saints look for positives despite first 0-2 start since 2017

NEW ORLEANS -- The Saints have lost both of their games this season in similar fashion.
Good, but not good enough.
The Saints' 26-21 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday was the latest example of a team still trying to figure things out under new coach Kellen Moore. In both games the Saints got off to slow starts and were left scrambling to try to mount comebacks.
They also missed field goals in consecutive weeks and gave up several big plays. In Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, it was Marvin Harrison Jr. shaking free for a 45-yard gain. Against the Niners, it was backup quarterback Mac Jones connecting with Jauan Jennings for a 42-yard touchdown.
