The loss dropped the Saints to 1-5 on the season.
Here’s what we learned from the game:
It was Maye's day
The Saints had no answer for Drake Maye, especially in the first half. The second-year quarterback from North Carolina looked like the best player on the field for most of the day, completing 18 of 26 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for a team-high 32 yards.
Maye's biggest pass was his last one, a 21-yard dime to Kayshon Boutte on third-and-11 to essentially seal the game and keep the Saints from attempting a game-winning touchdown drive in the final minutes.
Maye did most of his damage in the first half, when he strafed the Saints defense on 11-of-13 passin
