The New Orleans Saints came up short in a preseason loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Here are the highlights:

New Orleans lost a fumble, committed a critical defensive penalty and threw an interception in the first three quarters, leading to 17 points for the opportunistic Chargers in their second preseason game. And a run defense that the Saints desperately want to shore up allowed 148 yards and two touchdowns on 4.4 yards per carry.

The Los Angeles Chargers have secured a 27-13 win over the New Orleans Saints in a preseason game. Trey Lance scrambled for a 5-yard touchdown, and rookie Eric Rogers had two interceptions, including a 43-yard pick-6.
