For most of the game against the Packers, the Saints maintained a robust defense, preventing the Packers from scoring any touchdowns until the fourth quarter. However, in the final 15 minutes of the game, the Packers initiated their scoring. Consequently, despite the Saints holding a 17-0 lead in the fourth quarter, they were unable to maintain their advantage and ultimately suffered an 18-17 defeat.
