Saints most to blame for upset loss to Raiders in Week 3

The New Orleans Saints let an 11-point third-quarter lead evaporate and fell 35-27 to the previously unbeaten Las Vegas Raiders in their home opener at the Caesars Superdome. New Orleans dropped to 1-2, after turning into a turnover-prone, mistake-heavy performance that included four takeaways on five late possessions. The article cites Asim Richards as one of the main culprits: after holding up through three quarters at right tackle for the injured Kelvin Banks Jr., he was blamed for two turnovers in the fourth, including a strip-sack recovery by Jeremy Chinn and another pressure sequence leading to an interception. It also highlights defensive struggles, including a secondary that produced little against Kirk Cousins and Brock Bowers.
