And a rogues’ gallery at the finish line
Three of the final four games on this year’s Saints schedule will come against teams returning from last season’s playoffs tournament, including the Eagles (Week 14), the Super Bowl-champion Kansas City Chiefs (Week 15), and the Vikings (Week 16, on a short week). This might be what makes or breaks this Saints squad. If they rise to the occasion and handle their business against three of the best teams in the NFL, we’ll know that New Orleans is ready to make a serious run at another Super Bowl. If not, well, there’s no other way to look back on the last year (or even the last four years) of Saints football as a disappointment.
