The New Orleans Saints slow start was helped out a ton by the fact that the rest of the NFC South has been just as much of a jumbled mess. After losses by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers in Week 8, the Saints stand just one game behind first place.

Here’s how the full standings shake out in the NFC South after a great Week 8 for the New Orleans Saints.
