Saints can't overcome all that was missing, fall to the Falcons in regular season finale

Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough engineered an impressive performance considering all that was missing, but it wasn't enough in a 19-17 loss.

nola.com

Ronnie Bell, who came into today's game with eight career catches since entering the league in 2023, just made a one-handed touchdown grab to give the Saints a little bit of life. Trailing 19-17 with no timeouts remaining, they need to recover an onside kick.

Tyler Shough finally made a mistake that the Falcons capitalized on: On third down in the red zone, he's picked off by Dee Alford, and the Falcons nickel flips the field with his return. Saints chances are not looking so good at the moment.

Chase Young is also up to 10 sacks on the year, adding to his personal best. Impressive considering the time he missed to start the season. Follows that sack by blowing up a screen to Bijan Robinson on the next play.

Tyler Shough did something fun on fourth down again, but it's not going to count. His touchdown pass on fourth and goal is coming back because of an OPI

Make it two fourth down conversions for Tyler Shough on this drive, and the Saints have a first and goal

Holy hell that throw from Tyler Shough on fourth down. Rolling to his left, layering it above the flat defender. Chef's kiss.

James Pearce sacked Shough on back-to-back plays, and that is how the Saints first drive of the second half comes to an end.

Kelvin Banks Jr. is out for the remainder of the game with an ankle injury

I don't really get the point of that last challenge from Kellen Moore. The Saints just get three yards out of it, making it a third and 4 instead of a third and 7.
