The New Orleans Saints played the New York Jets closer than many Saints fans would have wanted early in the game. That was primarily due to struggles in the red zone showing up again. Tyler Shough's touchdown to Chris Olave was the only touchdown on the day. Other than that, it was the Charlie Smyth show.
The Saints opened it up as the game went on. This isn't one of the games where the score is unrepresentative of the flow of the game though. The game was only close because of the Saints settling for field goals, but there was never a question of who was the better team on the day.
