The New Orleans Saints’ loss to the previously 1-7 Carolina Panthers was brutal in itself, but when we look at the statistics leading up to that point, it’s even worse. According to ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, the Saints were the first team in the past two decades to lose a game in which they:

Furthermore, these three qualifiers have occurred in 275 previous matches over that twenty-year period, and the Saints are the only team to have lost in a match in which all three played. So teams that dominate that well are now 275-1, with New Orleans being the outlier. That’s embarrassing.

This loss is mainly due to coaching as they knew what worked in the run game and still managed to lose the game anyway due to poor play calling and poor decision making when it came to using timeouts. An ugly loss all around for New Orleans as they move to 2-7.
