New York Times  

For six long years Saints fans have had to wait for their team to start the NFL season with a victory. Sack 1: Cameron Jordan First quarter, 13:31, third-and-15 from Houston’s 33, 6-yard loss One question swirling around Who Dat Nation is whether Marcus Davenport, the small school defensive end the Saints spent two first-round draft picks on to nab in 2018, is improving and pulling his weight. Sack 2: Malcom Brown & Shy Tuttle First quarter, 8:31, second-and-10 from Houston’s 17, 4-yard loss More moving parts can equate to more moving problems, and that seemed to be the paradigm the Saints defense held when it came to taking on the Texans’ offensive line.

Sack 6: Trey Hendrickson Fourth quarter, 4:25, third-and-11 from New Orleans’ 44, 11-yard loss Watch the get-off for T-Rex on this snap.
