Few teams had less certainty with their running back situation than the New Orleans Saints going into Week 1, and unfortunately, no one was able to separate themselves from the pack Monday night.
Against a tough Minnesota Vikings defense, the Saints offense struggled to a 29-19 loss that wasn't as close as the final score indicated. A late touchdown closed the gap and ended a 0-of-3 start in the red zone.
Of course, the most disappointing part of the offense was the run game, which combined for just 2.9 yards per carry in the loss.
