Saints owner sends fiery warning to New Orleans amid early season struggles

New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson issued a strong warning to the organization Tuesday amid its disappointing 1-4 start to the 2026 NFL season, making it clear that the team’s recent struggles are unacceptable. As the Saints prepare for their Week 6 road matchup against the New York Giants (3-1-1), Benson addressed the team’s three-game losing streak during an appearance at the Greater New Orleans Quarterback Club. ESPN’s Katherine Terrell shared Benson’s comments Tuesday on X, formerly known as Twitter. “That is not acceptable to me,” Benson said regarding the Saints’ 1-4 record.
