- the last two years... the new - orleans saints didn't lose thei- second game of the season...- until november 10th or later.

- but this year... the black and- gold didn't even make it... to- october.- - - - - - saints hosting the green bay- packers, on sunday night- football... looking to bounce - back on a short week... - from a monday night loss, to th- las vegas raiders.- the player of the game was- running back alvin kamara...- doing it first on the ground...- collecting all kinds of ankles,- on this 49-yard run... all the- way down inside the red zone.

- and it wouldn't be right if the- saints didn't reward the man, - after a run like that... this - time... doing it through the- air... as drew- brees hits kamara, on the optio- route... for the 11-yard- touchdown... new orleans up,- 7-3... and kamara really was un- stoppable... going for 58 yards- rushing... and a buck-39- receiving... on 13 receptions..- he's the league leader with 280- yards after the catch... and- he's a running back.- now this is the play that reall- broke the internet... - kamara on the check down pass..- forcing four missed - tackles, on this 52-yard- touchdown... the most on a- single- play, this season... not to - mention that downfield- blocking, from erik mc-coy... - snow angel to celebrate... and- that really was a masterpiece,- of a catch and run... ties the- game at - 27-all.

- but the momentum would turn,- with brees on the sidelines...- as taysom hill fumbles the ball- away... green bay returns it- into- saints territory... and would - ultimately put the game - away... late in the fourth- quarter.- saints lose, for the second wee- in a row... by the final- score... of - 37-30.- - "we're 1-2 right now, and it's- been a while- since we've felt that and yet - three years ago we were 0-2.

So- a little bit of a gut check,- and yet we're not playing well- enough.

Let's not fool- ourselves."

We've - got to find more offense.

We've- got to find more on defense.- we've got to find more- special teams. we've all got to- do more than what's being asked- of us right now.

We've- got to correct the mistakes, th- little things killing us.

- penalties."

- "listen, he's a special footbal- player.

He- rattled off that big run early- on, and then obviously the chec- down that turned into - a 52-yard touchdown.

It's nice- when you've got a weapon like - that you just get the ball in - - - - got a weapon like that you just- get the ball in his hands in- space and he's tough to - tackle, and it's kind of a huma- highlight."

- through three weeks... the- saints are leading the- entire league, in penalty - yards... and defensive pass - interference calls.
