The New Orleans Saints are, in a word, dominant. They overcame a tough three-game skid on the road to get back to racking up the points in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and they won’t have to leave it until the Super Bowl after clinching the NFC’s top seed.
But just how good are the Saints compared to their peers? Well, among the eight teams currently sitting on top of their divisions, New Orleans has the best scoring differential in the bunch:
- New Orleans Saints: +170
- Los Angeles Rams: +127
- Chicago Bears: +124
- Kansas City Chiefs: +112
- Baltimore Ravens: +100
- New England Patriots: +76
- Houston Texans: +69
- Dallas Cowboys: +14
The gap between the Saints and the second-best Rams is almost as large as that between the Rams and the sixth-place Patriots.
