What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson

Our defense was bound to have a clunker at some point. Better now than in the playoffs.

One crazy thing I won't forget for a long time - I was at B-dubs watching the game and of course all of the other games were on. But our onside kick was kicked at almost the exact same time as Detroit ended up kicking theirs. And in both cases there were minutes where the refs had to sort out whose ball it was. It was happening in two different games simultaneously! Crazy stuff.

I believe it went our way initially. Then Philly took it back in the scrum. I've re-watched that play several times. I referee rugby and I know rugby and how to spot the ball on the deck. It took much too long for the refs to make a call. The ball probably moved back and forth two or thee times.

I read today that Robinson said he had it at first but lost it.
