Big reason the Saints loss that game was Brees obsession with scoring a td and extending his streak. Very me me player.

GO FALCONS!

They took away the end zone and particularly the back of the end zone, and then all that was left for the pass was short of the goal line or the screen to Ingram (the one where he stumbled and it kinda didn't work.) Great strategy to frustrate the Saints in the red zone. They knew what Carmichael was gonna do, and the longer the game went on the worse it got. I'm surprised nobody had done it to us sooner.
