The New Orleans Saints enter their Week 10 matchup against the Tennessee Titans dealing with a slew of issues, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
Now in the post-Drew Brees era, New Orleans sits at 5-3 and in second place in the NFC South after their first eight games of the 2021 season, but come into this game off a loss to the Atlanta Falcons, which snapped their three-game winning streak.
The man the Saints tabbed to replace Brees in 2021, Jameis Winston, is out for the season with a torn ACL, and is being replaced by former Titans quarterback, Trevor Siemian.
Making things more difficult, New Orleans, a team that is already without its best receiver in Michael Thomas, will be without two other key players in Alvin Kamara and Terron Armstead, both of whom have been ruled out.
