The Saints last 4 games before today they averaged just under 148 yards per game and 5.85 yards per play. So far today they have 166 yards rushing and are averaging 8 yards per play less than a half.

Somehow I feel lucky to only be down one possession.

The Saints get a FG to end the half and lead 20-14. The Saints will get the ball to begin the 2nd half. Hopefully the Bengals will do as they usually do make some good adjustments at halftime and come out and play better on the defensive end. I agree with @burreauxwe are fortunate to only be down one score that's probably due to playing a team that has lost by 8 to the Panthers.

ABSOLUTELY!

Yet again, the rush 4 drop 7, gives up another conversion on 3rd and long ?

People come on you can not touch the quarterback in the NFL if the ball is out of his hand.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!!!!!!!  Third and 25 and you pull that!!!!!!!!   Keep stinking it up D!!!!!!!!  Don’t just play bad, play stupid on top of it!!!!!

Defense gets a chance to get off the field with a good job on the first possession of the 2nd half and Henderickson commits a dumb roughing the passer penalty to keep the drive alive and now without a turnover they are going to now get points and extend their lead.

Based on the outcry over the 2 egregious RTP calls last week, and this one, I feel like that rule is due for a change in the offseason.

The Saints get a FG after the roughing the passer penalty to now make it 23-14 with 7:12 left in the 3rd quarter.

I agree while it wasn't much of a hit but with what has come about the past few weeks there was no excuse for his hit he had plenty of time to pull up he took 3 or 4 steps and then hit Dalton.

Totally unrelated to football, but Ja'Marr's grill ???

Who Dey!!!!!!

Now let's go defense! Get a turnover or a quick 3 and out.

Nice drive by Burrow and the offense. The only positive is that the Saints offense is really not that good especially with everyone that is out and they have had to settle for 3 FG's.

I don't understand why on 3rd and 1, when the Saints bring in an extra offensive lineman you still allow your linebackers to play 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Everyone knew they were running between the tackles there!
