A game that was never really as close as the score indicates. The Saints pulled away with touchdown drives either
side of the half and Jameis Winston was under constant pressure taking six sacks from a much-improved New
Orleans defense. Mike Evans was held without a single catch and only a late drive for a consolation score made
the passing stats look even half-respectable.
