Wil Lutz did not exactly receive the warmest welcome in a night filled with all of the pageantry and about as much embarrassment as the New Orleans Saints could have suffered in their 33-10 loss to the Denver Broncos on Thursday.
And there’s good reason for that.
Lutz himself scored 12 of the Broncos’ points by his own accord with four field goals attempted and made in the victory. That is more than the Saints managed to put together as an entire team in the game.
If it were not for the garbage time touchdown made by pass-catcher Cedrick Wilson Jr. on a pass from quarterback Jake Haener in the final two minutes of the action, the Saints would have had just one field goal to show for TNF at all.
Lutz heard the boos from the New Orleans crowd and responded to a post on social media from fans pointing out that they thought the disdain being expressed was directed at him.
That’s very possible, but the responses to Lutz’s quote post of the comment seem to take a shot at the Saints themselves. After all, it was a plenty boo-worthy performance from a team that seems to lack direction and control now on a five-game skid that they will hope doesn’t turn to six games as they face the Los Angeles Chargers on the road next on the schedule.
“Ehh, I think we know who was getting booed out the building,” Lutz wrote. “All love WhoDatNation.”
Lutz had previously praised the Saints environment earlier in the week and said that he still had a lot of love for those associated with the team, so it seems he’s just having a little fun with this one.
“A lot of love for people in that building,’’ he said in an interview with 9News. “Made a lot of big kicks there. Spent more than half my career there, so excited to get back there but excited to be on the other end of things as well. I think it will be fun for a lot of guys on the team.”
It was fun for Lutz and many of the ex-Saints on Denver’s squad. As for the Saints themselves and their fans? That’s another story.
