Saints play through stomach bug to have best offensive day

INDIANAPOLIS -- The New Orleans Saints' offense had its performance of the season, when many of the players were at their lowest.

The Saints (4-4) put up a season-high in points in their 38-27 win against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday and posted 511 yards of total offense -- the most since they beat the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 25, 2020.

"I felt like there was a rhythm to what we were doing offensively, and that was good to see," coach Dennis Allen said.

As Saints quarterback Derek Carr came to the podium for his postgame media session, he took a breath and said "gosh it feels good to fricking smile" after the turmoil amid their two-game losing streak.
