8 important takeaways from the New Orleans Saints’ 2023 season: What we learned after ending another year short of the playoffs
What did you learn about the New Orleans Saints this year? That’s the question we’re looking to answer in our takeaways from the 2023 season, with each of our staff writers sharing notes and observations after reviewing the campaign.
It wasn’t a successful season. The Saints missed the playoffs for the third year in a row after catching so many breaks. But the show must go on, and the team is already preparing for 2024. One last look back might be helpful in identifying what comes next. Here are our thoughts:
7 takeaways from the Saints’ 23-13 win over the Buccaneers: Offense finally clicks, defense regains its footing
We learned a lot about the New Orleans Saints in Week 17’s big win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was their most complete win against a quality opponent all season, and they did it on the road against a division rival that knows them well. This is the kind of game that a good team should be expected to win, and this time the Saints came through. Too often this season they’ve failed to meet expectations.
Here’s a quick rundown of our notes and observations from the game:
What went right and what went wrong in the New Orleans Saints’ Week 17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? And what’s the bottom line?
Nobody saw this coming: the New Orleans Saints dismantled the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday and are leaving town with a much-needed win, keeping their playoff hopes alive as the wild card race takes shape. It was maybe the Saints’ most entertaining game of the year, and certainly their most complete effort against a quality opponent.

8 takeaways from the New Orleans Saints’ 24-6 win over New York Giants
What did we learn about the New Orleans Saints on Sunday? They handled the New York Giants with ease in their 24-6 blowout win, with the offense and defense each doing its part to seal a victory.
Here are our notes and observations after Week 15’s big win:
What went right and what went wrong in the New Orleans Saints’ Week 15 win over the New York Giants; where do they go from here?
Whew — that was a fun one. The New Orleans Saints (7-7) took care of business against the New York Giants (5-9), and then some. The Saints won by a margin of 24-6 for their second lopsided victory in as many weeks. It wasn’t a perfect game, but it was awfully close.

8 takeaways, notes, and observations from the New Orleans Saints’ 24-15 loss to the Atlanta Falcons:
What did we learn about the New Orleans Saints on Sunday? Their defeat at the hands of their oldest rivals was insightful — but that’s not much of a silver lining to take away from a 24-15 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Our @LazarczykLogan breaks down his top three observations from the #Chiefs’ loss to the #Lions on Thursday.
The Kansas City Chiefs suffered their first loss of the NFL’s 2023 season against the Detroit Lions on Thursday night. The absence of Travis Kelce and Chris Jones played a part in the Chiefs’ defeat, to be sure, but victory was within their grasp late in the fourth quarter and slipped through Kansas City’s hands in brutal fashion.
While the team came up short against the Lions, the season is far from over. One loss hardly dooms the Chiefs to irrelevance in 2023, and even though the outcome of the game was disappointing, there remains plenty of time for Kansas City to get back on track to win its second-straight Super Bowl in February.
Good teams lose tough games, and with two of their best players out, the Chiefs were able to hang tough against the upstart Lions to lose by just one point at the end of the matchup.

We’re on to the second day of joint practices between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers, which gives Derek Carr and the Saints offense another opportunity to compete with one of the NFL’s most talented offenses. That’s also true for the New Orleans defense as they look to pressure young franchise quarterback Justin Herbert and the high-flying Chargers offense.
