LANDOVER, Md. — By a quirk of the schedule maker, both of Tom Benson’s professional sports teams were playing their 10th games of the season at the same time Sunday.
And after both lost, it’s safe to say both can forget about the playoffs.
Not officially.
But realistically.
The Saints are 4-6 after their 47-14 loss at the Washington Redskins, and the Pelicans are 1-9 after their 95-87 loss at the New York Knicks.
At this stage, Leonard Fournette’s Heisman chances are 10 times better than the Saints and Pelicans seeing the postseason — except on TV.
