The bad news? The New Orleans Saints are playing like hot garbage right now.
The good news? The rest of the NFC South is playing like lukewarm garbage so all four teams in the division are only separated by a single game.
With a 2-5 record, the New Orleans Saints are far from the juggernaut they hoped to be in the offseason. But only a game out of first place, the division is still winnable with a game left to play against each of the Saints’ divisional foes.
The Carolina Panthers beat the Saints earlier this season, but have since traded away Christian McCaffrey and benched Baker Mayfield.
