New Orleans scored all the points in the 4th quarter.

Jordan Love was the hero for the Saints as they comeback from a 17-point 4th quarter deficit in his 1st career home start – a change in momentum that began after Saints lost QB Derek Carr to a shoulder injury and the Green Bay defeated New Orleans 18-17 on Sunday.

Green Bay scored all of their points in the final eleven minutes to triumph in their 11th straight home opener, the league’s longest active streak. They finally were ahead in the result after Jordan’s 8-yard pass to Romeo Doubs with fewer than 3 minutes left.

Derek’s reserve, Jameis Winston, took the franchise to a scoring position, but Blake Grupe’s 46-yard FG attempt with just 1 minute left wasn’t successful. It was the 1st career miss in 7 tries for Blake, but it came in the worst possible moment as that cost the Saints the game.

New Orleans hosts the Bucs next Sunday, while Green Bay also plays at home against the Lions on Thursday.
