Saints general manager Mickey Loomis accepted owner Gayle Benson’s criticism of the team’s performance, conceding New Orleans hasn’t delivered sustained success. He urged patience, pointing to a young roster and head coach Kellen Moore as the team continues to develop.

By the Numbers
  • The Saints are 2-4.
  • New Orleans last made the playoffs in 2020.
  • The Saints beat the Giants 34-27 last Sunday.
Yes, But

Loomis views player development as a key measure of progress, but acknowledged the bottom line remains results: “It’s not good enough yet.” Benson has made clear she expects the football leadership, coaches and players to be held accountable.

State of Play
  • New Orleans is preparing in Versailles, France, for Sunday’s game against the Steelers.
  • Moore is in his second season as head coach; Loomis described him and the roster as young and developing.
Bottom Line

The Giants win offered a boost, not proof of a turnaround. Loomis is asking for time, while Benson’s message—and his own admission—make clear that improvement must show up on the field.
