The New Orleans Saints were down 14 points in five minutes. It wasn’t a great showing to start the game, but it didn’t end that way.

The first three possessions of the game were an absolute train wreck for the New Orleans Saints.

On the opening drive, they allowed Matthew Stafford to go eight plays for 77 yards and a touchdown.
