Saints Suffer Embarrassing Loss Against Seahawks on September 21

SEATTLE, Wash. — The New Orleans Saints suffered a crushing defeat against the Seattle Seahawks on September 21, 2025, losing 44-13 at Lumen Field. This brutal game left the Saints at a 0-3 start for the season, prompting serious questions about the team’s performance under first-year head coach Brandon Moore.

As the Saints traveled back to New Orleans, Coach Moore reflected on the grim loss, stating, “We are at a juncture where we have to be as critical as we can be right now.” The team was outplayed in all aspects of the game, reminiscent of a college team facing an overwhelmingly superior opponent.

The Saints’ defense struggled throughout the game, allowing a punt return for a touchdown and a blocked punt. They also missed a field goal and were penalized 11 times. Moore acknowledged, “It’s how you respond. This is going to be a really valuable lesson for us.”

This defeat marks the Saints’ seventh consecutive loss, raising concerns about their potential this season. They now join the ranks of five other winless teams in the NFL, raising the stakes for upcoming games against the Buffalo Bills and others.

Meanwhile, division rivals experienced mixed fortunes: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers improved to 3-0, while the Carolina Panthers surprisingly shut out the Atlanta Falcons at 30-0. This series of results puts the Saints in a tough spot as they face upcoming challenges.

Furthermore, this game marks a significant moment for Saints fans, as many will remember it for years to come. “The 21st night of September will always hold a bitter reminder of this day for us,” Moore concluded.
