The NFC South After Week 1: Hope is Not Lost for the New Orleans Saints

After a heart-breaking loss to the Oakland Raiders Week 1, the season isn't over just yet.

Yes, the New Orleans Saints defense was exposed during the second half of the game against the Oakland Raiders. Yes, things might be looking worse with the injury to Saints CB Delvin Breaux. Yes, the Saints started the season with a loss. But so did 3/4 of the NFC South.

After one week of play in the NFL regular season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sit atop the NFC South with a record of 1-0. The Panthers, Falcons, and Saints all start the season 0-1, with the Falcons taking up the rear based on tie-breakers (their loss coming against a divisional opponent).
