Rumors of the death of New Orleans Saints offense are greatly exaggerated.
Just look at this graphic from Fox Sports One’s Colin Cowherd:
Misleading graphic much? To quote our friend, Mark Ingram, “Look at the details!”
For one, look at the text under “Remaining Teams.” It says, “Since Week 15 with starting QB.” Why Week 15? No reason in particular. Why “with starting QB?” Because they’re trying to be fair and exclude the game Drew Brees didn’t play in Week 17. That means for the Saints, you’re looking at a three-game sample size (Week 15, Week 16, and the divisional round).
