NEW ORLEANS — In the New Orleans Saints' first two games under rookie coach Kellen Moore, they had a chance to win at home on their final possession — and came up short.

On Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, their last-ditch drive ended with a fourth down sack of Spencer Rattler in Saints territory, allowing the banged-up Niners to run out the final 57 seconds of their 26-21 victory.

“We’re putting ourself in position to win games,” Moore said. “Ultimately, we have to take advantage of those opportunities.”

New Orleans came up short despite getting a career-best three touchdown passes from Rattler and 99 yards rushing from Alvin Kamara. Much as they did after a Week 1, 20-13 loss to Arizona, the Saints lamented a series of earlier miscues that had them playing from behind.
