The New Orleans Saints’ first two weeks of the season were a quintessential case of Jekyll and Hyde. In Week 1, it was a 38-3 drubbing of the Green Bay Packers. Week 2, meanwhile, was a 26-7 helping of humble pie served by the Carolina Panthers. At that point, it seemed like the Saints were in for a roller coaster of a season.
Fast forward to Week 9, and the Saints are 5-2, having won four of their last five. The loss was a baffling one to the New York Giants in which the team collectively fell apart, but moments like that are to be expected when you’re dealing with the hodgepodge of injuries the Saints have to this point.
