Green Bay outgained New Orleans 222 yards to 81 and capitalized on three of their four first-half possessions to secure a commanding 21-0 halftime lead.
The Packers showcased a balanced rushing attack, with seven players contributing to 95 yards on the ground. Chris Brooks punched in a 1-yard touchdown, while Josh Jacobs added a 2-yard score. Dontayvion Wicks opened the scoring with a 2-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Jordan Love.
Love completed 12 of 18 passes for 127 yards, while Jacobs impressed with 10 carries for 53 yards and four catches for 38 yards. Tight end Tucker Kraft also stood out, hauling in three receptions for 63 yards.
Rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, making his fourth start of the season in place of Derek Carr, has completed 4 of 8 passes for 56 yards. However, he lost a fumble after a hit by Keisean Nixon, which was recovered by Rashan Gary for the Packers.
Foster Moreau has been a bright spot for the Saints, recording two catches for 33 yards.
The Saints' final drive of the half reached Green Bay's 34-yard line, but clock mismanagement proved costly. After Kevin Austin's fumble out of bounds, the team failed to recognize the clock was still running. A subsequent sack of Rattler by Devonte Wyatt pushed the Saints out of field goal range, ending the drive without points.
