Canal Street Chronicles: Saints vs. Texans Bold Predictions

Week 2 of the preseason saw the New Orleans Saints not only battle the Los Angeles Chargers but mother nature, when 2 natural disasters took place in the area. First, Hurricane Hilary made landfall on Sunday dumping record breaking rain and causing widespread flooding through the area, then just a little over an hour before kickoff a 5.0 earthquake hit about 50 miles north of SoFi stadium with some aftershocks felt by those in attendance.

Despite everything, the Saints came through victorious defeating the Chargers 22-17, to improve to 2-0 on the preseason. The Saints will face the Houston Texans in their 3rd and final preseason game on Sunday night in Caesars Superdome.
