新奥尔良市圣徒队主场23比13不敌维京人遭遇三连败
新奥尔良消息：据路易斯安那体育网（louisianasports.net）10月11日报道，新奥尔良圣徒队当天在凯撒超级穹顶主场以13比23负于明尼苏达维京人，遭遇主场三连败，战绩跌至1胜4负，而维京人则以5胜0负保持不败。
比赛过程一边倒向客队。圣徒队四分卫泰勒·肖全场25次传球完成16次，仅推进96码，并送出2次被抄截，场均每次传球不足4码，为本赛季最差表现。圣徒队全场进攻乏力，仅完成一次像样的15档长驱直入。
圣徒队唯一的亮点来自防守组：第三节，防守后卫乔纳斯·桑克抢回掉球并回攻87码达阵，一度将比分追至13比13平。但随后的加踢射门偏出，未能反超。此后维京人重新掌控比赛，锁定胜局。
据USA Today旗下Saints Wire报道，圣徒队赛前已有两名防守截锋因病缺阵，跑防排名联盟第30，全场被维京人四分卫多次找到空档。主场观众在比赛末段提前离场，看台上反而响起大片维京人球迷的欢呼。
接下来圣徒队将客场作战，球队需要在攻防两端尽快找回状态，以挽回赛季颓势。（配图来源：美国国土安全部，公共领域）
New Orleans: Saints Fall 23-13 to Vikings at Home in Third Straight Loss
NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints fell 23-13 to the Minnesota Vikings at the Caesars Superdome on October 11, suffering their third straight home loss, louisianasports.net reported. The Saints dropped to 1-4 while the Vikings stayed unbeaten at 5-0.
Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 16 of 25 passes for just 96 yards with two interceptions, averaging only 3.9 yards per attempt — his least productive showing of the season. The Saints offense managed only one sustained 15-play drive all afternoon.
The lone bright spot came from the defense: in the third quarter, defensive back Jonas Sanker recovered a fumble and returned it 87 yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 13-13, but the extra point was missed and the Vikings pulled away late.
According to USA Today's Saints Wire, New Orleans was already shorthanded with two defensive tackles out ill, and its 30th-ranked run defense was repeatedly exposed. Home fans streamed out early, leaving loud pockets of Vikings supporters cheering in purple.
