Getty Images With each passing week, the Saints are using quarterback Taysom Hill less and less and less. A stellar performance in the playoff loss to the Vikings provided a glimpse of what Hill could be as a dual-threat quarterback. Since that game — during which he participated in 41 percent...

Getty Images Erik McCoy may have missed his calling. The Saints center had a key role in running back Alvin Kamara‘s 52-yard catch and run on Sunday night, hustling downfield to throw a block that helped fuel Kamara’s quest for the end zone. According to the NFL’s NextGenStats account on...

Getty Images The conventional wisdom entering a truncated offseason was that teams with continuity would benefit most, since they already knew what to expect from coaches and players. But the 1-2 Saints aren’t making the most of any such perceived advantage, having lost back-to-back games for...

Getty Images The Packers improved to 3-0 with a 37-30 win over the Saints on Sunday night and the work of their offense is a big reason why they’re off to such a fast start. Green Bay has scored more points than anyone else in the league to this point in the schedule, which may come as a...

Getty Images Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees are trading shots, and Rodgers may have just caught a break. The Packers went up 27-20, after Rodgers hit tight end Marcedes Lewis for an 18-yard touchdown. The Saints clearly felt Lewis pushed off on the play, with safety Malcolm Jenkins protesting...

Getty Images The Saints gave the Packers too many chances in the fourth quarter, and the Packers made them pay. The Packers left New Orleans with a 37-30 win over the Saints Sunday night, continuing a run of impressive offensive performances. The fact that 37 was their lowest point total of...

Getty Images The Saints took the lead, but may have taken another significant blow on offense, just before halftime. Left guard Andrus Peat was carted off the field, after teammate Alvin Kamara fell across the back of his left leg. Peat stood with team doctors, but wasn’t able to walk off the...

Getty Images With both the top receivers absent from tonight’s game, somebody else is going to have to make plays in the passing game. The Packers seem utterly comfortable letting Allen Lazard do just that. Aaron Rodgers just hit the third-year wideout with a 48-yard bomb, and then a...

Getty Images The Saints haven’t been as sharp as we’re used to seeing on offense this year. But Alvin Kamara has been as good as ever. The Saints running back got his team out to an early 7-3 lead over the Packers, with an 11-yard touchdown catch from Drew Brees. It was Kamara’s fifth...

Getty Images The NFL’s $100,000 fines to five head coaches — and $250,000 fines to their teams — showed how serious the league is about its risk-mitigation efforts. The NFL made it crystal clear with a Friday night memo to teams reminding them about game-day protocols, Tom Pelissero of NFL...

Getty Images After Packers running back Aaron Jones racked up 236 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns in Sunday’s eventual romp over the Lions, Jones told me by phone with a laugh, “I’m gonna have to go and call my agent.” Maybe Jones, a fourth-year running back who has yet to get his...
