The New Orleans Saints host the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. Neither team wants the lump of coal that would be a loss this Christmas. We will see which team has been naughty and which has been nice. The Saints are soaring from two-straight wins, while Miami has reeled off five-straight victories. We would all be overjoyed to see the Saints win three-straight here.
Like John McClane in Nakatomi Plaza on Christmas ‘88, the Saints may be outmanned and bereft of weapons, but they refuse to be ultimately defeated, despite the odds. Throughout a five-game slide, the Saints looked destined for failure, but their inspired performance at Tampa in primetime reminded not only the league, but themselves, that this team that when they put it together, they can beat any opponent in their path.
