New Orleans kicked off their season with a disappointing loss to the division rival Atlanta Falcons, but they showed off a high-powered offense that put up 472 yards and 34 points.

Unfortunately, their defense was a big letdown and the secondary was torched by Matt Ryan.

Don’t get too down on the Saints, however.

The team still has Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham and a breakout offensive star in rookie wide receiver Brandin Cooks, who hauled in seven catches for 77 yards and a touchdown in his regular season debut.
