Saints coach Kellen Moore cautious about entertaining playoff talk after his team’s third win
New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore expressed caution about playoff discussions following his team's overtime victory against Cleveland Browns in their third win of the season. The Saints, who currently rank 26th in the NFL in yard rushing, 27th in points allowed per game, 28th in turnover differential, and 31st in field goal rate, increased their win total to three after securing the win in overtime.
Moore highlighted that there is still a "long road ahead" to the playoffs, despite the Saints' recent success. During the game, the Saints failed to score any points in the first half and only managed nine points before second-year quarterback Tyler Shough led crucial touchdown drives in the final minutes of regulation and overtime.
New Orleans still struggles in several areas, including rushing yards, points allowed, turnover differential, and field goal accuracy. While a win this weekend would put them first in their division, it may be premature to label them as NFC contenders at this point in the season.
