The New Orleans Saints lost 34-0 to the Los Angeles Rams in a preseason matchup on August 23. This marked a significant performance drop for the Saints, who failed to score, including a missed field goal attempt at the end of the game. Coach Kellen Moore acknowledged the missed opportunity and the impact of injuries on the team's depth. With backup quarterbacks Spencer Rattler and Zach Wilson both struggling, the Saints may consider adding a veteran QB. The team is also evaluating its kicker situation after Tanner Brown missed a critical field goal against the Rams.
