Saints enter Week 2 emboldened by their dramatic near comeback in Detroit
The New Orleans Saints are moving on to Week 2 sounding more emboldened than disappointed by their season-opening loss to Detroit. Saints veteran safety Justin Reid says his team is “in a good place” after Sunday's 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions. After erasing a three-touchdown deficit in the second half, the Saints matched the Lions’ touchdown in overtime and tried to win the game with a 2-point conversion that failed when second-year quarterback Tyler Shough’s pass fell incomplete.
Saints second-year coach Kellen Moore says his players deserve credit for “sticking with it." The Saints are now preparing for another big challenge on the road this weekend, when they visit a Baltimore team coming off a 41-23 victory over Indianapolis.
