The New Orleans Saints went to Arizona, and put the bread on top of their 4 week poboy.
Or do you think this isn’t a sandwich?
48
11
13
49
That’s the scoring production over the last 4 games against 4 of the best defensive teams in the NFL.
Predictable only in their inconsistency, the Saints offense hung 48 points on the #1 rated defense in the NFL in the desert.
You figure it out. I sure can’t.
Drew Brees picked apart the Cardinals like they were standing still. The offense hit on all cylinders as the Saints never punted. Brandin Cooks had a career-best 170 yards receiving with 2 touchdowns. The Saints brought their record to 6 – 8, seemingly determined to finish 7 – 9 for a third straight season. Had they been able to convert early-season kicks, the Saints would be 8 - 6 and in the thick of the playoff race.
But, the ability to win enough close games is something that has eluded the Saints during this 3-year descent into mediocrity. They will almost certainly miss the playoffs again, and winning the last 2 games would bring them to .500 but that is not enough to satisfy Saints Fans, given the talent at Quarterback.

Drew Brees won his 100th game in a Saints uniform.
He is the all-time NFL leader in so many passing categories that the only question about his eventual Hall of Fame entrance is how many rings will he be wearing?
Right now it looks like the answer will be One and that's not going to satisfy the Fleur-De-Lis faithful either.
It would seem that some coaching changes may hinge on the last two games.
There's a world of difference between 6 - 10 and 8 - 8 and who can predict how the last two weeks of this inconsistent season will go.
I certainly can't.
