A two-game winning streak would lift the New Orleans Saints back to .500, at 6-6. Here are a few ways that they may be able to accomplish that Sunday against Detroit in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome:
1. The Saints have the league’s most productive quarterback in Drew Brees, who leads the NFL in passing yards (3,587), touchdowns (30), completions (326), attempts (456) and completion percentage (71.5). And yet, New Orleans has constructed a complimentary running game that Detroit won’t be able to ignore. The Saints, in their last five games, have rushed 155 times for 767 yards, an average of 153.
