National Anthem

It's Louisiana vs Florida Weekend Game 2 - Saints are in their ALL WHITE (not the Color Rush) uniforms. First for the team.

14:47 - Alvin Kamara looks good!

NO-3-2-NO 49 - (12:52) (Shotgun) T.Bridgewater pass incomplete deep left to A.Carr.

Saints were forced to punt on the first series after Bridgewater was flushed from the pocket on 3rd down. (12:44) T.Morstead punts 42 yards to JAX 9, Center-Z.Wood, fair catch by D.Westbrook.

3 of first 5 offensive plays for Saints go to Kamara

10:40/1st Qtr: Gardner-Johnson had a bid tackle on Leonard Fournette to him a yard short of the first down.

6:28/1st Qtr: PLAY UNDER REVIEW: Appears Ted Ginn got his hands under the football. Sean Payton threw the challenge flag.

The officials in New York rule INCOMPLETE PASS.

SCORE UPDATE - 2:29/1st Qtr: W.Lutz 47 yd. Field Goal (7-8, 2:31)

Saints lead 3-0 over the Jags

END OF FIRST QUARTER - Saints (3) - Jags (0)

___________________________________________

Saints 1st Quarter Offensive Stats

SCORE ALERT: 3 points - Jaguars (2:47) J.Lambo 22-yard field goal is GOOD, Center-M.Orzech, Holder-L.Cooke.

2:41 - SCORE: Saints (3), Jags (3)

HALFTIME - Saints and Jags are tied at 3 points each

Halftime Stats

Quick Analysis of the Saints 1st Half:

1. Bridgewater is not consistent. Credit to Jags defense sacking and pressuring him.

2. No running game. Kamara and Murray are averaging 1.375 yards per rush. Dismal.

3. Saints defense is performing well, but not outstanding.

4. No balance in Payton's playcalling.

INJURY ALERT: Jaguars Tight End Swaim took the worst of a helmet to helmet hit from Demario Davis. Anyone who knows Davis knows he does not intentionally hurt another player.

CHALLENGE ALERT - Coach Marrone believes Marcus Williams interfered with the receiver on the last pass from Minshew.

The call on the field stands. No DPI.

Onward we go.

#Jaguars TE Geoff Swaim blindsided over the middle of the field. Knocked out cold.
