On Thursday night, Sean Payton was back on the sideline at the Caesars Superdome. Drew Brees was honored at halftime as he entered the New Orleans Saints’ Hall of Fame.
That’s what made the game itself so depressing for Saints fans. It was a reminder of exactly how far the team has fallen since the glory days of Payton and Brees.
The Saints had an ugly 33-10 loss to Payton, their former coach, and the Denver Broncos.
The Broncos weren’t all that good, the Saints were just worse. Some of that was out of the Saints’ control.
