The New Orleans Saints (3-4) can reach .500 with a win on the road Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers (1-6) in Week 9.
It wasn't easy getting to this point when considering how the season began at 0-3, but the Saints pulled together by going 3-1 in the last four games.
So, is this a mirage or a bona fide turnaround? That question from Twitter among others answered in this edition of the mailbag.
@HerbieTeope After the 0-3 start the Saints are now 3-1 last 4 games. To what should we attribute this turnaround?
