The New Orleans Saints knew they'd eventually face adversity this season, and it finally came in waves on Sunday afternoon. It occurred three plays in the game when center Erik McCoy went down with a groin injury, and the Saints' explosive run game might as well have exited with him. See More >>

Just three plays into the New Orleans Saints game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy gingerly walked off the field with members of the athletic training staff. The examination in the blue medical tent on the sideline revealed a groin injury for the Saints' standout center, and shortly after the Saints ended their opening drive with a field goal, McCoy limped his way into the team's locker room and stayed there for the duration of the game.

Sometimes in football, really good isn't good enough. For much of the Week 3 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the New Orleans Saints defense made the plays when they counted. Through three quarters, the Saints were pitching a shutout, giving up a big chunk of yardage here and there but making up for it with huge plays of their own. See More >>

The New Orleans Saints forced two turnovers, blocked a punt and stopped the Philadelphia Eagles twice on fourth down in scoring position but it wasn't enough to make up for an off-game by the offense as the Eagles won 15-12 behind two explosive plays Sunday at the Caesars Superdome. The loss dropped the Saints to 2-1 and improved the Eagles to 2-1. See More >>

Of the plays that were available to be made by the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, they simply didn't make enough of them against Philadelphia.
