The New Orleans Saints are down to the Seattle Seahawks by a score of 16-0 after the first half of the NFC Divisional playoff game at CenturyLink Field. It's as if the Saints learned nothing from their regular season loss to the Seahawks in Week 13.
Despite a good effort running the ball, a Mark Ingram fumble in Saints territory was a killer.
If the Saints don't come up with some magic in the second half, their season is over. They'll need a turnover or two for sure.
Despite giving up 16 points, the defense has still played respectable. It's the offense that can't seem to get anything going.
Shayne Graham missed a field goal, the only chance for the Saints to put points on the board.
