NEW ORLEANS (AP) — There were only so many mistakes the sloppy Saints could overcome. And a new starting quarterback on the heels of Jameis Winston’s season-ending knee injury was the least of their problems. New Orleans’ offense had drives stall because of penalties, dropped passes and and a very costly turnover that led to an Atlanta Falcons touchdown.

Saints left tackle Terron Armstead says “self-inflicted wounds” cost the Saints in a 27-25 loss that ended their three-game winning streak.
