The Story in 60 Seconds

The New Orleans Saints enter their bye week at 2-5 after a 16-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Stade de France in Paris. Head coach Kellen Moore stated that the break provides the team an essential opportunity to step back emotionally and conduct a deep self-evaluation to address ongoing inconsistencies.

Key areas targeted for improvement include a volatile rushing attack that managed only 18 yards against Pittsburgh and persistent slow starts, with the Saints being outscored 44-6 in first quarters this season. The coaching staff will also review the kicking game after Daniel Carlson missed four field goals and two extra points.
