The Saints starting offense hasn't punted through 6 quarters in 2024
The New Orleans Saints offense continued their streak from last week. Against the Carolina Panthers, the Saints scored on every drive led by the Derek Carr and the starting offense. The unit had nine possessions that led to five touchdowns and four field goals.
In Week 2, the team is going against a better defense. No one told Klint Kubiak. Instead, he proceeded to dial up a 35 point first half against the Dallas Cowboys, with three Alvin Kamara touchdowns. This came off the heels of a 30 point first half in Week 1.
That was the best first half under Dennis Allen at the time. That claim has now been replaced by this performance. In five drives, the Saints starting offense still haven't required the punter to come out.
All five drives have resulted in touchdowns, so far. Carr has been equally as efficient as he was a week ago, and he's already surpassed his passing total from the debut. The 310 yards of offense the Saints gained in the first half was a franchise record -- for Dallas, being the most yardage their defense had ever given up through the first two quarters.
If the Saints can take this trend into a second half, the team will walk away with a victory for a second year in a row.
