Marquez Valdes-Scantling gives the Saints a 10-0 lead over the Falcons

The Saints scored a touchdown on their first play of the game, with Taysom Hill running 88 yards down the sideline. However, tight end Foster Moreau needed an obvious layup that cut it to a 34-yard gain.

The Saints finally scored a goal that counts.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught a 40-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr. He was surrounded by Justin Simmons, Jessie Bates and Ray-Ray McCloud when Carr nailed it.

The Saints lead the Falcons 10-0 and it could be more.

They reached the Atlanta 6 and 20 on their first two drives and came away with three points. Taysom Hill was stopped on fourth down on the team’s first possession.
