Rattler found Foster Moreau in the middle of the field for a 21-yard gain after starting at the New Orleans 39.

Green Bay threw three straight times en route to going three-and-out for the first time, punting from its 40 after the two-minute warning.

Devonte Wyatt registered his fifth sack of the year, resulting in a 12-yard loss and forcing the Saints to use their final timeout with nine seconds left in the first half. Rattler’s Hail Mary fell incomplete.
