BALTIMORE (WVUE) - The Saints scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns and intercepted Lamar Jackson in the final 20 seconds Sunday (Sept. 20) to stun the heavily favored Baltimore Ravens, 24-17.
New Orleans (1-1) trailed 14-3 late in the second quarter before mounting another second-half comeback. Unlike the one a week earlier, when the Saints came back from a 21-point deficit in Detroit only to lose by one point in overtime, this rally got them into the win column.
Trailing 17-9, the Saints tied the game with 9:42 left in the fourth when quarterback Tyler Shough and receiver Chris Olave connected on a 21-yard touchdown play. Travis Etienne reached the end zone for a two-point conversion that tied the game at 17-17.
Then the Saints mounted a 16-play, 68-yard drive and took their first lead of the game with 1:28 to play, when Shough snuck across the goal line from 1 yard out.
