Saints upset Seahawks in the Dome

The Saints overcame a late push from the Seahawks, and secured the 25-20 upset over the Seahawks in the Superdome.

With only 1:50 remaining and down by five, Russell Wilson drove his offense down the field from his own 32 yard-line to the Saints 10 yard-line. With one final play left in the game, Wilson passed to the back of the end-zone but his throw was just out of reach as Jermaine Kearse couldn’t get both of his feet down.

Drew Brees threw for 265 yards, connecting with Brandin Cooks for one touchdown through the air, and scored his first rushing touchdown in nearly a year.

Running back Tim Hightower added 102 yards on 26 carries after Mark Ingram was benched for fumbling in his second straight game.

Saints kicker Will Lutz nailed all four of his field goal attempts, helping the Saints maintain the lead on route to their victory.

At a record of 3-4, the Saints are in third place in the NFC South and are 2-2 in the Superdome this season.

The Saints travel to Santa Clara, California next Sunday, Nov. 6 to take on the 49ers.
