Tahj Washington's first NFL catch was unforgettable - even if he wants to forget it. After the Dolphins kicked a field goal on their opening drive and Baltimore went three-and-out on its first drive, Washington took a short pass from Tua for a nice, 11-yard completion to the Dolphins 18-yard line. But Baltimore safety Alohi Gilman strip-tackled him, picked up the ball and returned the fumble 11 yards to the Miami 7. On fourth-and-2, Jackson threw to tight end Mark Andrews for the touchdown and make it 7-3. The tone of the night was set.
The Saints' 26-21 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday was the latest example of a team still trying to figure things out under new coach Kellen Moore. In both games the Saints got off to slow starts and were left scrambling to try to mount comebacks. They also missed field goals in consecutive weeks and gave up several big plays.
