For the second year in a row, Louisiana is spending the month of January in disbelief at how the Saints exited the NFL Playoffs. However, we immediately rebounded in 2018. Starting on the day the Saints lost to Vikings in the Divisional Round, the New Orleans Pelicans went 27-14 to finish the season, culminating in a first-round playoff sweep of the Portland Trail Blazers.
Following the Saints’ heartbreaking loss* to the Rams* in this year’s NFC Championship Game******* there was no Pelicans happiness to look forward to. Things were already bleak enough at 22-28 before an early-morning #WojBomb caused Lakers and Celtics Twitter to erupt in celebration.
