Saints Preseason Spark Ignites Hope | New Orleans Saints News

The Saints’ preseason opener against Jacksonville was a gritty loss, 24-20, but packed with flashes of promise. Coach Kellen Moore’s “go for it” message sparked energy from young players, especially on special teams—Ty Chandler returned the opening kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown. Defense shone too: Jaylan Ford led with eight tackles and an interception, while Jayden Price and Martin Emerson Jr. (back from injury) made key stops. Quarterback Zach Wilson connected with Bub Means for a TD and big plays, finishing over 100 yards. Rookie Michael Heldman dominated the line with two sacks and multiple TFLs. Bright spots everywhere.
