Recap: Saints come back from nightmare start with 35 unanswered points to down Lions 35-29

The Saints once again prove themselves and bounce back like we knew they would with a 35-29 win against the Lions in Week4.

The New Orleans Saints looked to pick up where they left off in Week 3 at the beginning of Week 4 — absolutely terrible. However, they quickly turned it around and dominated the Lions the rest of the game with a bounce-back victory.

Here is a quick recap.

First Half

The game took off in the first quarter with a terrible display from the black and gold. Detroit marched down the field and scored the first touchdown on a Stafford-to-Swift pass culminating a 7-play, 88-yard drive.

On the very first play for New Orleans, Drew Brees threw an interception.

The Lions took it down the field and scored again, making it 14-0 in the first five minutes of the first quarter. The Saints had had enough from that point on. The rest of the half was all black and gold from this moment on.

They immediately took it down for Latavius Murray’s touchdown. After a Lions punt, the Saints went to work again ending that drive with an Alvin Kamara touchdown. Then Patrick Robinson intercepted Matthew Stafford, and the Saints went on to score one more time before the half.

The half ended with the Saints up 28-14.

Second Half

The first half started all Lions but finished all Saints. The second half started where it left off. New Orleans was the first to score in the half with a six-yard rush from Latavius Murray for his second touchdown of the day.

The Lions were able to match it though late in the third with a touchdown from Stafford to Hockenson. The fourth quarter only saw a touchdown by Adrian Peterson followed by a successful two-point conversion.

After an uneventful fourth quarter, New Orleans bounced back for the win.

New Orleans needed this win to move back to .500 at 2-2. Now, the team must look forward to hosting the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football.
