NEW ORLEANS, La. (KLFY) -- The New Orleans Saints suffered a crushing 44-13 defeat against the Seattle Seahawks, leaving them winless in the 2025 season.

The Saints were overwhelmed in the first half, trailing 38-6 as the Seahawks scored five touchdowns, getting points through the air, on the ground and on special teams.

"Didn't do enough. We didn't do enough to give ourselves a chance," said Saints Head Coach Kellen Moore after the game. "Starts with me. We got to give ourself an opportunity to compete in these games."

Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler struggled to generate offense, completing 28 of 39 passes for 218 yards without a touchdown and one interception, resulting in a passer rating of 83.1.

The Saints managed to score their only touchdown late in the fourth quarter when tight end Jack Stoll caught his first NFL touchdown pass.

The Saints' defense struggled against the Seahawks and former Offensive Coordinator Klint Kubiak, allowing 320 total yards.

Coach Moore acknowledged the team's issues with penalties and missed opportunities, emphasizing the need to learn from this experience.

The Saints, now 0-3 for the first time since 2016, face a challenging matchup next week against the Buffalo Bills and the reigning league MVP, Josh Allen. Kickoff against the Bills is set for Sep. 28, noon.
