OFFENSE: In particular, one number suggests that the New Orleans Saints probably shouldn’t even have been in Sunday’s game against Denver in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, much less in position to take the lead with 82 seconds left and possibly win it with one last defensive stand. New Orleans committed four turnovers – two interceptions by quarterback Drew Brees in the first half, two lost fumbles by rookie receiver Michael Thomas in the second half – and that number often signals a lopsided outcome. Even though the Saints forced a couple of turnovers (two interceptions), four turnovers is a ton to overcome.
