Game Recap: Seattle Seahawks 44, New Orleans Saints 13 | 2025 NFL Week 3

Check out the game action photos from the New Orleans Saints game against the Seattle Seahawks for Week 3 of the 2025 NFL Season on Sept. 21, 2025 at Lumen Field.

Multiple issues on special teams, double-digit penalties and an inability to convert in the red zone led to a 44-13 Seattle Seahawks victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at Lumen Field in Seattle.

The loss dropped the Saints to 0-3 in their first season under Coach Kellen Moore. Seattle improved to 2-1.

The Saints trailed 38-6 at halftime after giving up a 95-yard punt return for a touchdown, had another Kai Kroeger punt blocked to set up a Seattle touchdown and had multiple penalties to undermine its effort in the first road game of the season. It was the first blocked punt the Saints have given up since 2011 (222 games). The Saints also gave up a 60-yard kickoff return. Prior to the miscues on special teams, the Saints turned the ball over on downs on the opening possession.

The second half was marginally better for the Saints as tight end Jack Stoll caught the first touchdown of his career, a 13-yarder to start the fourth quarter,

Quarterback Spencer Rattler was 28 of 39 for 218 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Receiver Chris Olave had 10 catches for 57 yards and running back Alvin Kamara had 18 carries for 42 yards. Quarterback Tyler Shough entered late in the fourth quarter. Running back Kendre Miller added seven carries for 27 yards.

The Saints played without right tackle Taliese Fuaga and while Trevor Penning was active he didn't get the start at left guard.

New Orleans was penalized 11 times for 77 yards.

Cameron Jordan played in his 229th career game, surpassing Drew Brees for the most games played in Saints history. Jordan also moved into a tie for 12th in NFL record books for games played by a defensive lineman with Keith Traylor.

The Saints will play at the Buffalo Bills (3-0) on Sunday, Sept. 28.
