Brees throws three interceptions, Saints lose to the Lions 28-13

With three of their final four games against the two teams ahead of them in the NFC South, the Saints an ill afford another loss.

Jim Caldwell could see the Detroit Lions’ latest win coming last week, well before they beat the New Orleans Saints.

According to ESPN, Carr set an National Football League single-season record with his fifth late game-winning touchdown pass in Sunday’s come-from-behind win over the Buffalo Bills.

“Then after the game, too, the way in which they received the guys”. Calvin (We’ve known each other long enough to be on a first name basis, right?), we need you to come back to the Detroit Lions to make a Super Bowl run. Matthew Stafford somehow eluded a sack, scrambled to his right and found Dwayne Washington for a first down completion. Detroit led 3-0. Early failures on consecutive 3rd and 1 chances foreshadowed the worst offensive show of the year. Stafford’s pass to T.J. Jones on a 2-point attempt fell incomplete.

Detroit was outgaining the Saints 422 yards to 294 before New Orleans’ final drive. Glover Quin knocked down a deep ball to Cooks. The Lions had roughly a 1 in 8 billion shot of mustering those seven comebacks, and that’s not even hyperbole. “It looked like we came off a short week or something”.
