Saints’ Kellen Moore is still trying to figure out solution to New Orleans’ slow starts

The New Orleans Saints are struggling with recurring slow starts, which have persisted despite various attempts to address the issue. Head coach Kellen Moore acknowledged that his team's inability to start games with urgency has put them in challenging positions. Following Monday night's 45-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, Moore admitted that coaching and execution have not been up to par.

The Falcons' early dominance, exemplified by their touchdown on their opening drive, highlighted the defensive concerns facing the Saints. With Travis Etienne Jr. sidelined by injury, the passing game has had to bear more responsibility, compounded by the defense's struggles to contain rushing attacks. The Saints' season is now at risk as they face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5, with little room for error.
