New Orleans Saints
Drew Lock‘s inauspicious 0-of-11 passing line to open the game only set the stage for things to come.
The New York Giants could only improve from there — but not by much. They scored just 11 points, and Bryan Bresee ended their hopes of sending the game to overtime by blocking a 35-yard field goal try. It was New York’s eighth straight loss, a 14-11 defeat to the New Orleans Saints.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Cornerback Ugo Amadi was seemingly everywhere for New Orleans, contributing three tackle contributions in run defense — as the game’s highest-graded run defender, pending reviews — and facing nine targets in coverage. While Amadi surrendered six catches, that resulted in just 56 yards and he forced two incompletions.
