New Orleans was about to enter the break, down 16-3, following a Broncos subject objective with about 16 seconds left. Spencer Rattler threw a 1-yard go to Alvin Kamara, and the Saints took a timeout to cease the clock. Rattler then threw a 5-yard go to Kamara with 11 seconds left.
The Saints determined to take a timeout after they have been on their very own 36-yard line. Was it to gear up for an extended go? Possibly a trick play to attempt to idiot the Broncos protection? Would Rattler shock followers on the Caesars Superdome?
Not one of the above.
Out of the Saints’ third timeout, Rattler took a knee to finish the quarter.

Former NFL star Richard Sherman was fairly perplexed over the choice. He expressed it as a lot throughout Prime Video’s halftime present.
“I’m confused, I’m vexed, I’m perplexed. I don’t get it,” Sherman mentioned. “They don’t want to tackle. They don’t want to make plays. These are good players. Tyrann Mathieu is a good player. The easiest interception of his life. … and he drops it. I see guys not having effort to get to the ball carrier, to make tackles. Like, I don’t understand this. It seems like they want to get their coach fired. That’s the effort they’re playing with.
“Hey Denis Allen, you name a timeout so we are able to watch your quarterback taka a knee? Do you wish to torcher these Saints followers? They’re going to be ready at his automobile after this recreation.”
Other fans chimed in as well.
Allen said after the game he didn’t agree with Sherman’s take on players’ effort and wanting to get him fired.
“Now we have to face up and lead,” Allen mentioned, by way of NOLA.com. “We’re the one ones who’s going to get us out of right here. It isn’t like there is a draft in the course of the season, there isn’t any one coming to be our savior.”
