It was an ugly night at Lumen Field, and the game wasn't much prettier. It was a defensive struggle from start to finish, and the New Orleans Saints pulled out the 13–10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks thanks to a Brian Johnson field goal in the last minutes of the fourth quarter. 


Niether of these two teams came into the Monday night game with outstanding offenses, especially Seattle who lost Russell Wilson to a finger injury in Week 5. 


For the second straight week Geno Smith was under center for the Seahawks. Smith hasn’t won a game as a starter since 2016 when he was with the Jets. The Saints forced Smith to beat them by stuffing the box with nine defenders all night long.

Seahawks start strong

The Seahawks opened up the scoring with an 84 yard first quarter touchdown by DK Metcalf. That would be the last time Seattle crossed into the endzone.

James Winston had done just enough to keep the Saints season record above .500 coming into Monday, but he hadn’t passed for more than 200 yards since the second week of the season.

Jameis Winston and the Saints took the lead with a touchdown pass to Karama late in the first half to take New Orleans to the break up 10-7.

Rookie kicker steals the show

The Seahawks were able to tie the game up with a field goal just before the fourth quarter, but it was the Saint's rookie kicker Brian Johnson who stole the headlines late in the game.

Johnson, who was making his NFL debut, stepped up and drilled a 33 yard chip shot to give New Orleans their fourth win of the season.

The Seahawks had one last grasp effort with two minutes left in the game, but consecutive sacks on Geno Smith brought up 4th and forever and the Saints held on for their fourth win of the season. 


Alvin Kamara led all players with a total of 179 total yards including 128 receiving and a touchdown catch. Winston had his first 200 yard game since Week 2, going for 222 yards on 19/35 passing.

But the late game hero was Brian Johnson who went 2/2 in his NFL debut, one of those was the eventual game winner with two minutes remaining.
