As the Saints were pounding the Detroit Lions last week, word came down that QB Aaron Rodgers got injured against the Vikings and left the game. That injury, a broken collar bone, will end Rodgers’ season. Of course, no one wants to see star players get hurt in the NFL. But the Saints are going to benefit from that loss. Even playing at Lambeau Field.
Confidence is riding high in Who Dat Nation. And it should be. The defense is forcing turnovers. Also, the defensive line is getting pressure. All of a sudden, the 0-2 Saints have become 3-2 playoff contenders.
