The New Orleans Saints have struggled with penalties to start the 2025 season, and those woes continued early in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks.

The Saints committed four penalties on offense in the first quarter on Sunday at Luman Field, totaling five penalties for 36 yards. That number is a stark contrast from the Seahawks, who had committed only two offensive penalties all season heading into Week 3.

The Seahawks didn't commit a penalty en route to scoring 21 points in the first quarter. The Saints' third drive of the game resulted in three penalties for 20 yards.

The heavily penalized Saints drive ended with the Seahawks recovering a blocked punt in Saints territory, which set up a 3-yard touchdown by Kenneth Walker to give the Seahawks a 21-0 lead.
