Between a failed fourth-and-goal play, two missed medium-range field goals and a botched third-and-goal play from the 1-yard line that left New Orleans settling for a field goal, the Saints had plenty of regret as they gathered Monday to review their 24-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. After failing to score on any of their three red-zone opportunities, the Saints (2-9) are scoring touchdowns on 34.48% of possessions in which they run a play from inside an opponent’s 20-yard line. The failures against Atlanta started with an inability to run it in on goal-to-goal snaps and continued with some failed pass plays, including a throw by Taysom Hill during a fourth-down rollout that was batted down.
