The importance of Saints Week 5 Monday Night matchup with Redskins

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.

Things were looking grim for the first couple of weeks of the 2018 Season. After a bruising loss to Tampa Bay to start the season off, it looked like the Buccaneers were primed to take the drivers’ seat in the NFC South out of the gate. But they’ve faltered badly since and the Saints seem to be getting their act together on the defensive side of the ball.
