EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Here's the scary thing about the New Orleans Saints.
A quarter of the way through the 2018 season, they haven't come close to playing their best football, are still trying to find their identity on offense and defense and appear to be operating at about 60 percent efficiency.
And yet despite all of these things, they will enter the month of October with the second-best record in the NFC and alone in first place in the NFC South Division.
The Saints recorded their third consecutive win Sunday (Sept. 30) in a methodical 33-18 drubbing of the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
