Broncos vs. Saints: Denver routs New Orleans 33-10 in ugly loss for Dennis Allen in Sean Payton's return to NOLA

On Thursday night, Sean Payton was back on the sideline at the Caesars Superdome. Drew Brees was honored at halftime as he entered the New Orleans Saints’ Hall of Fame.

That’s what made the game itself so depressing for Saints fans. It was a reminder of exactly how far the team has fallen since the glory days of Payton and Brees.

The Broncos weren’t all that good, the Saints were just worse. Some of that was out of the Saints’ control. They were without many key players due to injury, including quarterback Derek Carr and top receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. Rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler did his best, but he was a fifth-round draft pick for a reason. The Saints struggled to move the ball and sustain drives all night.

New Orleans started 2-0 but has lost five straight since then. The past two losses have been embarrassing, for different reasons. Last week the defense got completely run over by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a 51-27 defeat. On Thursday, it was a loss to a coach and franchise icon whom the Saints traded away to Denver in the 2023 offseason.

That's what happened."                                                       Click Hear "Nobody gave us a chance," Smart told ESPN. "Your own network doubted us. And then they tried to rob us with calls in this place. These guys are so resilient." Georgia's defense sacked Texas' quarterbacks seven times and had 10 tackles for loss. The Longhorns finished with only 259 yards of offense, including 29 rushing. Texas went 2-for-14 on third down and 1-for-5 on fourth.
