Saints get stuck in Seattle after plane breaks down

Monday night just kept getting worse for the New Orleans Saints.

After getting crushed 34-7 by the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field, the Saints’ plane broke down, ESPN reports, leaving them stranded in the Pacific Northwest overnight.

And for a little while, at least, the Saints had trouble finding a hotel in the Seattle area, the NFL Network’s Amber Theoharis reported.

Here’s a little more from ESPN:

Specific details were not immediately available, and it’s unclear what time the Saints (9-3) will return home Tuesday. But obviously the delay makes a short week even shorter as they prepare for a critical Week 14 home date with the NFC South rival Carolina Panthers (9-3).

The Saints will look to bounce back from Monday’s poor performance in which quarterback Drew Brees’ streak of throwing for over 200 yards ending at 43 games.

“We took one in the chin today,” Brees said. “We got outplayed today. They played great. They made a lot of plays, and we didn’t.”

The Saints really couldn't get anything going through the air last night could they? haha

Hey I'm just glad the plane broke down at the airport and not in mid flight. That's the crap that scares me.

You made me spill my coffee you bastard!

Seriously though that kinda sucks for them. Poor guys. I imagine there would be a shortage of hotel rooms in the area because of the game so they'd have to send everyone all over town to get a room for the night then all meet back up at SeaTac when the plane's ready to go. What a pain in the ass thing to organize at the last minute.

They really, really are NOT going to want to come back here for the NFCC game.

Well played!



In all seriousness, it was a serious issue and hopefully they're on their way back to New Orleans now.

A guy I work with brought up a good point. He was wondering if the window was broken from the outside or the inside.
