It’s about time. Penalties were a point of frustration for the New Orleans Saints through their first two preseason games, but they cut down on the mental mistakes and sloppy unforced errors in their final exhibition game.
After being penalized 23 times for 222 yards in those first two weeks, the Saints left Sunday night’s game with the Houston Texans having drawn just a pair of penalty flags for a loss of 15 yards. They were fouled once for holding on special teams and later for a false start on offense.
