Saints react to NFL admitting botched call vs. Texans: ‘That’s a game-changer. That can’t happen.’

Al Riveron was left to clean up another officiating snafu at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Monday night. This time, at least, it didn’t cost the Saints a game – or a trip to the Super Bowl.

Drew Brees was furious. Sean Payton was rather calm. And Cam Jordan waxed philosophical, after the officials in Monday night’s 30-28 Saints victory over the Texans saw yet another half end with fans, media members and Saints coaches and players confused about what appeared, at least on the surface, to be a fairly simple call to make when broken down.

NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints finally broke their Week 1 curse in the most improbable fashion imaginable: A 58-yard field goal by Wil Lutz as time expired for a 30-28 victory over the Houston Texans — just 37 seconds after they had lost the lead by allowing a two-play, 75-yard touchdown drive.

The Saints Nation Kickoff Party is taking place on Fulton Street in New Orleans with performances by Choppa, Kermit Ruffins, Rockin Dopsie Jr, Partners-n-Crime & the Big EZ Band, Cupid & the Dance Party Express, Jonny Sketch& the Dirty Note J & the Causeways, Big 6 Brass Band, Angela Bell, and MORE.

The Saints ruled out defensive tackles Sheldon Rankins (Achilles) and Mario Edwards Jr. (hamstring) for Monday night’s game against the Texans. LB Craig Robertson (hamstring) is listed as questionable. Everyone else is good to go. It will be interesting to see how the Saints handle their three-technique DT position since Rankins is the starter, backup David Onyemata is serving a one-game suspension and Edwards is the third-stringer. Backup tackles Taylor Stallworth and Shy Tuttle should be part of the solution. Backup DE Trey Hendrickson is another possibility.
