Not much went right for the New Orleans Saints in their second preseason game as they dropped a 34-0 decision to the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday at SoFi Stadium.<\/p>\n
The Saints lost the turnover battle 3-0, had a dozen penalties, and the defense struggled to apply pressure and get off the field in a dispiriting loss to the Rams (2-0 preseason). The team’s lone field-goal attempt, a 39-yarder by Tanner Brown, missed to the right.<\/p>\n
Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler<\/a>\u00a0led a nice opening drive of the second half but his third-down pass was intercepted at the goal line and returned 100 yards by Alex Cook for a touchdown to make it 27-0 Rams. On the next possession, the Saints got inside the Rams’ 10-yard but running back Ty Chandler lost a fumble at the 2-yard line.<\/p>\n Rattler finished 14 of 23 for 141 yards and the interception. He scrambled five times for 21 yards<\/p>\n Veteran\u00a0Zach Wilson<\/a> got the start at quarterback as the Saints rested their starters following two joint workouts this week in California. The former No. 2 overall pick was six of 12 for 55 yards with an interception in the first half.<\/p>\n
