Monday night was a rough one for the New Orleans Saints as they lost to the Seattle Seahawks 34-7, and the big loss wasn’t the end of it. Following the game, the Saints were forced to spend the night in Seattle due to a problem with their plane, ESPN reports.
A United spokesperson told KING 5 the delay was due to a cracked windshield.
At least one Saints player vented his frustration publicly:
This night couldn't get any worse

Drew Brees and the Saints were stymied the entire night as he lost for the first time after nine straight wins.
“We took one in the chin today,” Brees said. “We got out played today. They played great. They made a lot of plays and we didn’t.”
The Saints now are looking at a seemingly even shorter week to prepare for their game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
The Seahawks next take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
