The New Orleans Saints got taken to the cleaners by the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. In Sean Payton's return to the Superdome, the Spencer Rattler-led Saints put up zero fight as the visiting side steamrolled to a 33–10 victory. The loss dropped the Saints to 2–4 and marks the team's fourth consecutive defeat after a hot 2–0 start.
Making matters worse, it was clear from the outset that the Saints didn't show up to play. Or at least it came across that way to Richard Sherman, the longtime NFL cornerback who works for Amazon Prime as an analyst in retirement. At halftime, with the Saints down 16-3, Sherman tore New Orleans to pieces and suggested the effort he's seeing on the field is so bad the only explanation is that the Saints players are trying to get head coach Dennis Allen fired.
