Off-field analyses are part & parcel to NFL draft process. So how have teams investigated Rueben Bain Jr.'s 2024 crash? And will it impact the draft? I spoke with evaluators from 5 teams and reviewed Florida public records to better understand 👇 sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/...

Zach Wilson has been through a lot in his five NFL seasons, but he is just two months older than Tyler Shough. He said he signed with the Saints because he saw the right conditions to find the best version of himself www.nola.com/sports/saint...

The Saints are signing former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson, according to multiple sources. www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Saints GM Mickey Loomis spent half an hour with Todd McShay talking Tyler Shough and draft process. As usual, Loomis kept his cards pretty close to the vest. You can listen to it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KPy...

Jahri Evans is expected to join the Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff, per a @mzenitz.bsky.social report. The Saints' all-time great and 2026 Hall of Fame candidate began his playing and coaching careers in N.O. www.nola.com/sports/saint...

The Pittsburgh Steelers plan to interview Saints QBs coach Scott Tolzien for their offensive coordinator position, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Tolzien drew regular praise for his work with the Saints young QBs in 2025, and has a long history with Mike McCarthy www.nola.com/sports/saint...

I guess if I had to pick a weekend to be so sick I could barely get off the couch this would’ve been the weekend I’d have picked. Every one of these games has been a banger.

Chase Young was also honored with an NFC Defensive Player of the Month award today. He was dominant in those last five games. www.nola.com/saints-chase...

Spent a decent chunk of today doing a statistical dive on the 2025 Saints. Here were the nine numbers I thought defined the season: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Saints can't overcome all that was missing in a 19-17 loss to Atlanta. www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Ronnie Bell, who came into today's game with eight career catches since entering the league in 2023, just made a one-handed touchdown grab to give the Saints a little bit of life. Trailing 19-17 with no timeouts remaining, they need to recover an onside kick.

Tyler Shough finally made a mistake that the Falcons capitalized on: On third down in the red zone, he's picked off by Dee Alford, and the Falcons nickel flips the field with his return. Saints chances are not looking so good at the moment.

Chase Young is also up to 10 sacks on the year, adding to his personal best. Impressive considering the time he missed to start the season. Follows that sack by blowing up a screen to Bijan Robinson on the next play.

Tyler Shough did something fun on fourth down again, but it's not going to count. His touchdown pass on fourth and goal is coming back because of an OPI

Make it two fourth down conversions for Tyler Shough on this drive, and the Saints have a first and goal

Holy hell that throw from Tyler Shough on fourth down. Rolling to his left, layering it above the flat defender. Chef's kiss.

James Pearce sacked Shough on back-to-back plays, and that is how the Saints first drive of the second half comes to an end.

Kelvin Banks Jr. is out for the remainder of the game with an ankle injury

I don't really get the point of that last challenge from Kellen Moore. The Saints just get three yards out of it, making it a third and 4 instead of a third and 7.

Not Tyler Shough out-running Jalon Walker and skipping into the end zone ...

Falcons left Audric Estime completely uncovered on third down. Shough got to him late and probably missed the truly big play, but they do connect for 19 and the Saints are in Falcons territory.

Now Kelvin Banks Jr. is walking to the injury tent. He doesn't look happy. Not great for the Saints, who are already down a significant chunk of their regular offense.

After getting outscored 7-0 in the first quarter today, the Saints will finish the 2025 season getting outscored 122-29 in the first quarter of games.

Charlie Smyth hooks it left of the uprights from 56 yards out. Saints remain scoreless.

The first quarter has come to a close in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Saints trail 7-0, and they'll face a third and 19 when play resumes.

Well, that's one way to respond after his fumble earlier. Great diving one-haded catch by Juwan Johnson moves the chains for the Saints.

Kirk Cousins had all day in the pocket, and eventually Drake London escaped the coverage. Cousins hit him for a touchdown, and that one isn't coming back. Falcons take the early lead.

This game has an awful lot going on for a scoreless contest, and it just keeps coming. It looked like Bijan Robinson found the edge for a touchdown run on the first play after the punt block, but it comes back on a holding penalty.

Kai Kroeger had his punt blocked, and the Falcons will take over deep in Saints territory.

Carl Granderson just made a leaping/diving interception of a tunnel screen. It was a pretty awesome play.

Make it a double-digit sack season for Cam Jordan at age 36

Tyler Shough rolled right on a bootleg, hit Juwan Johnson for a big gain, and Johnson coughed up the football fighting for YAC. AJ Terrell with the force. Falcons recover.

Chase Young and Carl Granderson converged on Kirk Cousins to sack him on third down, and that's a three and out for the Saints defense to start.

One more time.

Brandon Staley has authored an impressive debut season with the Saints. Could he be back in the head coach cycle soon? "It's definitely a dream of mine (to be a head coach), it always has been. With that said, I think I'm living the dream right now." www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Nine Saints players were not present at practice today: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Tyler Shough is earning his teammates' respect with his play — and his leadership skills www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Tyler Shough's rankings among all NFL QBs since he took over as the starter in W9 (min: 100 att) Rating: 97.2 (8) Yards: 1,997 (10) Yards per game: 249.6 (7) Comp%: 69.6 (3) TD%: 3.5 (27) INT%: 1.5 (8) YPA: 7.7 (9) Success rate: 46.3 (11)

Tyler Shough had the 8th best EPA per dropback for any Saints QB in a game over the last 10 seasons.

Of all the Shough puns available I am so mad I didn’t come up with ShoughBois smh

The ShoughBois are still accepting new members. We do not gatekeep

"Estime, man, he went crazy, bruh." The Saints RB went off for 88 second-half yards to set "the standard" for the Saints furious finish. www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Kevin Austin was waived three times by the Saints this year alone. Sunday, he delivered a clutch go-ahead TD int he fourth quarter — on a play he knew was coming his way www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Tyler Shough led a comeback (again) and the defense closed it out (again). The Saints have won four in a row, and Shough has won five of his eight starts.

I know it doesn't mean anything for this season outside of draft positioning at this point, but this game has absolutely ruled.

Cam Ward just did a crazy good thing on 4th and 10. Saints had him dead to rights and he somehow got a pass off before he hit the ground. A sixteen yard gain keeps this game alive for Tennessee.

The Saints just crossed the 30-point barrier for the first time this season. Last time they did it was in Week 11 against Cleveland last season.

His 32-yard TD run just put the Saints ahead 34-26
