The New Orleans Saints haven't won their season opener since 2013, and when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, they'll try to end the frustrating streak.
"It's been a while," coach Sean Payton said on Monday.
Payton actually addressed the issue in a team meeting Monday, sharing information about how much easier it is to make the postseason after starting the season 1-0 or 2-0.
Making matters worse for the Saints is that they haven't just lost their opener the past four years. They've started 0-2 every year since 2014.
"We've got to start faster, obviously take advantage of playing at home and understand the little things that win," Payton said.
