Saints Fall To Ravens 30-24
New Orleans six game winning streak was snapped Sunday as they fell to the Baltimore Ravens 30-24. The Saints played well in spurts, but gave up over 200 yards on the ground to the Ravens rushing attack. Saints RB Chris Ivory missed the game with a hamstring injury, and New Orleans ground game was lackluster, posting only 27 yards rushing. As a result, Drew Brees had to throw it 46 times. The Saints also lost the turnover battle 2-0. You add it all up, and you get the first Saints loss in nearly two months. ESPN.com and the associated press has more below.
