The New Orleans Saints are facing an offensive crisis as their high-scoring start to the season has given way to struggles. Will their backup quarterback be able to overcome the Green Bay Packers’ strong defense?
The Saints ’ offense has struggled this season, a far cry from the high-scoring unit they envisioned at the start. Despite a strong opening with over 40 points in their first two games, things have taken a downturn. Quarterback Derek Carr ’s broken hand will likely sideline him for Monday’s game against Green Bay. Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler have stepped in, but haven’t replicated the team’s early success.
Rattler nearly led an upset against Washington, but a missed two-point conversion sealed their fate. The Saints also face offensive line woes and the absence of key receiver Chris Olave. Adding to their challenges, running back Alvin Kamara, their leading receiver, is dealing with a calf injury. Meanwhile, Green Bay’s defense is performing well, potentially boosted by the return of Jaire Alexander. Even without him, the Packers are expected to pressure the Saints’ backup quarterback and exploit weaknesses in their receiving corps. Green Bay’s recent success against Seattle, where they stifled their run game, suggests they could pose a significant threat to New Orleans
