Kellen Moore Reacts to First Win as Saints Head Coach: “It’s Awesome”
Kellen Moore officially notched his first NFL win as a head coach on Sunday, guiding the New Orleans Saints to a 26–14 comeback victory over the New York Giants. The milestone places Moore in the rare group of individuals who have earned a win at the helm in the NFL — a feat few achieve in the coaching world.
After a gritty start to the season, Moore’s squad finally got the breakthrough they’d been chasing. The Saints overcame an early 14–3 deficit to dominate the rest of the game, showcasing toughness and discipline — signs that Moore’s leadership is beginning to take hold.
Moore Reflects on Milestone Victory
Speaking to reporters after the game, Moore expressed gratitude for his players and appreciation for their perseverance through a challenging first month.
“It’s awesome,” Moore said via the team’s official site. “This group is special. They’ve shown resilience through a tough stretch to start the season. It’s not the perfect beginning, but the way our guys kept fighting was incredible to watch.”
Sunday’s win wasn’t just a first for Moore — it also marked quarterback Spencer Rattler’s first career victory after starting his NFL tenure 0-10. Several Saints rookies, including first-rounder Kelvin Banks Jr., who has played every offensive snap so far this year, also experienced their first NFL win.
Moore emphasized how meaningful the moment was for everyone involved: “This whole group — players, coaches — has really had to dig deep over these first four games. We came close a few times, but now we’ve got that first win under our belt. It’s a great momentum builder and hopefully sets the tone moving forward.”
The Saints still have work to do to become serious contenders, but Moore’s early efforts suggest he’s laying the foundation for a winning culture in New Orleans.
