Entering Week 16, the New Orleans Saints are 11-3.
They’re currently the No. 3 seed in the NFC and could take over the top spot on either of these last two weeks. Given that they’re one game out of contention, the Saints will be playing each of these last two games like it’s the playoffs.
Heading into Week 15, the Saints knew they were in must-win territory if they had any hopes for a top-two seed. They were the first team in the NFL to clinch a playoff spot so they’ve been a lock for the postseason for a while.
