No Fun League. No Hugs League.

Seahawks safety Earl Thomas scooped up a fumble and ran 34 yards for the game’s first touchdown. Thomas hugged one of the officials while celebrating the touchdown and was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Both defenses are playing well early. The Saints are putting together a drive late in the first quarter.
