New Orleans Saints Face Setback Against Green Bay Packers at Lambeau

The New Orleans Saints, with a record of 5-10, faced a challenging game against the Green Bay Packers, who now stand at 11-4 after securing a 34-0 victory. This encounter at Lambeau Field saw the Saints unable to add points to their tally, marking a significant moment in their season.

Game Highlights

The game was tough on the Saints from start to finish. Quarterback Spencer Rattler completed 15 out of 30 attempts for a total of 153 yards but was intercepted once and sacked three times. The pressure from the Packers' defense was relentless, limiting Rattler's effectiveness and contributing to his quarterback rating of just over 51.

On the ground, the Saints managed to accumulate only 67 yards across 20 attempts. Jordan Mims led with just 16 yards from four carries. The rushing effort saw little success against a stout Packers defense that refused to yield significant ground.

Receiving efforts were led by Foster Moreau and Dante Pettis who managed to rack up some yardage despite tight coverage. Moreau caught two passes for a total of 33 yards while Pettis added another two receptions for 31 yards.

Defensively, Demario Davis stood out with six tackles and one tackle for loss among his ten combined tackles, showcasing his ability to read plays and make crucial stops. However, without any sacks or interceptions recorded by the team throughout the game, it was difficult for the Saints' defense to shift momentum in their favor.

Special Teams Performance

Matthew Hayball had an active day punting under pressure; he punted four times totaling an average net yardage of nearly forty per punt and successfully placed three inside the twenty-yard line - showing some bright spots in special teams play despite overall team struggles.
