Saints owner Gayle Benson rips 1-4 start, says fans 'deserve better'

In a rare public criticism of her team, owner Gayle Benson said the Saints' 1-4 start was "not acceptable" and vowed to deliver better results to New Orleans fans.

Benson, speaking to the Greater New Orleans Quarterback Club on Tuesday, said she has heard the frustration from fans "very loudly" after a three-game losing streak, saying she expects better and the fans "deserve better."

"Our fans invest their time and their hearts in the Saints," Benson said. "They are right to expect more than we have delivered."
