The New Orleans Saints are sharing a practice field for the rest of the week with the Los Angeles Chargers, in anticipation of the teams’ showdown in the third preseason game.

Last season, many of the Saints’ players said they remember coming out ‘flat’ or not playing up to the level of the Chargers — that was something they wanted to make sure didn’t happen again this preseason.

While there was a clear winner of who brought more intensity to practice, the defenses, overall, won the day for both squads.

New Orleans and Los Angeles will square off on Saturday night at 7pm in the Stub Hub Center in Carson, CA.
