The Saints ultimately lost to the Cardinals (1-0), but it wasn’t all bad news. Arizona opened up the scoring with a field goal in the first quarter, but the Saints would go ahead 7-3 on an 18 yard scamper by Alvin Kamara. The Cardinals would score a pair of touchdowns before the half and took a 20-10 lead into the intermission. In the second half the only scoring allowed was a field goal by each team, which provided the final margin of 20-13. Throughout the game, penalties and discipline seemed to be the biggest hindrances to the Saints. The black and gold were flagged 13 times for 89 yards. The Cardinals were flagged 9 times for 54 yards, including a penalty that wiped away a Cardinals interception. Spencer Rattler started for the Saints and did well managing the game, Rattler didn’t turn the ball over and as the contest went on, seemed to get more comfortable with the flow of the game. Rattler fired a pass to tight end Juwan Johnson that would have tied the game, but was punched out as Johnson hit the ground. Rattler finished the day 27/46 for 214 yards and also added 29 yards rushing on 4 attempts. Alvin Kamara scored the Saints lone touchdown and had 11 carries for 41 yards. The Saints receiving core was led by Johnson who hauled in 8 catches for 76 yards. Chris Olave made his return to the field and had 7 receptions for 54 yards. Rasheed Shahid also returned for the black and gold and caught 6 passes for 33 yards, Shahid’s was also instrumental in the return game. The defense was stout for the most part. Aside from one explosive play, the Saints consistently pressured Kyler Murray and logged 5 sacks. There were no turnovers in the game. The Saints defense held the Cardinals offense to an average of 4.6 yards per play. Cam Jordan and Carl Granderson each logged 1.5 sacks. Kool-aid McKinstry did give up a big play to Marvin Harrison Jr but bounced back well after and logged 7 tackles.
