The New Orleans Saints went 4-2 this season after defeating Seattle Seahawks in a close encounter on Monday. The Seahawks lost by 10-13 in the Lumen Field, making them 2-5 this season. And now with three straight losses for the Seahawks, they occupy the last spot in the NFC West Conference way below the Cardinals.
And now as Geno Smith fails to produce desirable results for the team, the whole burden will fall on the shoulders of Russell Wilson when he gets back from his finger injury. The Saints, on the other hand, have marched past the Seahawks as they stand right below the Buccaneers to occupy second place in the NFC South.

Seattle Seahawks failed to score in the final drive
The game took a turn when Jameis Winston led the Saints offense for a 42-yard drive helping his team score a field goal for three points late in the fourth quarter. Geno Smith, however, failed to carry his offense down the field as the Saints were able to sack him twice during that final drive.
Fans of both teams were at the edge of their seats, but finally, the Saints emerged victoriously. Later on, people took to Twitter to express their agony or pleasure towards their respective teams.

Though Seattle Seahawks started off the game with a touchdown, they fell short of just three points to register a win against the Saints. The Saints were able to get back in the game after they scored 10 points in the second quarter to gain a lead of three points.
Take away the big D.K. Metcalf play and Seahawks have 57 total yards.
