Story summary

In Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season, the New Orleans Saints rallied from a 17-9 deficit to defeat the Baltimore Ravens 24-17 in Baltimore's home opener. The game-winning play came with 1:28 remaining when Tyler Shough, a former Louisville quarterback, scored on a fourth-down sneak despite controversial replays suggesting he might not have crossed the goal line fully. New Orleans' defense then clinched the victory by intercepting a deep pass intended for Baltimore's star player Lamar Jackson with 13 seconds left. This marked the Ravens' third straight loss when leading after three quarters since 2021, echoing past failures that contributed to former coach John Harbaugh’s firing post-2025 season. Coach Jesse Minter, in his second game with Baltimore, acknowledged the need for his team to maintain its identity and avoid panic in critical moments.
