On Sunday, Nov. 13, 2016, the New Orleans Saints stepped up to take on the Broncos. The Saints had a rough start to the season by losing their first three games. They won their fourth and fifth game but suffered another loss afterwards.
Saints fans then gained some confidence and hope after beating the Seahawks and the 49ers, but the fans of the Broncos thought otherwise. Broncos’ fans thought that their team’s defense would easily slaughter the Saints’ offense, but the Saints’ fans did not agree.
The Broncos started off strong. They were the first team to score in the first quarter and prevented the Saints from even kicking a field goal.
In the second quarter, however, the Broncos could not keep the Saints from kicking a field goal, but they were able to kick one themselves. In the third quarter, the Saints started to dominate the Broncos by scoring two touchdowns with a successful point after touchdown, while keeping the Broncos from scoring.
In the final quarter, the Broncos scored a touchdown with a pat and two field goals. The Saints then scored a touchdown to tie the game. The Saints attempted to kick a pat, but it was blocked by the Broncos. The Broncos ran the ball back to score and won the game. Despite the Saints’ loss and criticism, they showed that they are still a team to be reckoned with.
