The Saints (3-1) enter Week 5 of the 2018 NFL Season tied for first place in the NFC South with the Carolina Panthers. Tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup with the Washington Redskins gives them the opportunity to pull ahead, at least for a week, in the division.

But they’ve faltered badly since and the Saints seem to be getting their act together on the defensive side of the ball.
