That might have been the game of the year. The New Orleans Saints improved to 5-2 with a stunning upset of Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home in the Caesars Superdome — and they did it largely without Jameis Winston. That’s enough window dressing. Let’s get to it:

New Orleans Saints Week 7 game recap: Everything we know

Well that was something. A game of professional football transpired between the Seattle Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints, who improved to a 4-2 record with a stifling defensive effort at Lumen Field. There are very real concerns to be had about the Saints offense based off a particularly ugly performance, but that’s a problem for another day. Let’s dig in:

POSTGAME REPORT: Streak stays alive, Alabama has monster second half vs. Tennessee

Alabama takes down Tennessee to keep the streak alive!

The fourth-ranked team in all of college football, Alabama, had a rough first half against the Tennessee Volunteers, but bounced back strong in the second half and finished the game 52-24.

Tennessee held a one possession lead in the second quarter, but the Crimson Tide answered quickly shortly after and went into the half with a one-touchdown lead.

Star quarterback Bryce Young had a stellar game, throwing 31 completions on 43 attempts for 371 yards and two passing touchdowns. He also managed to use his legs for 42 yards and two additional touchdowns.

On the receiving ends of Young’s passes were and handful of receivers, especially John Metchie III and Jameson Williams, who combined for 17 catches, 144 yards and two touchdowns.

Brian Robinson once again led the Crimson Tide ground game, rushing for 107 yards on 26 carries for three touchdowns.

The Crimson Tide defense did an amazing job containing a hot Hendon Hooker, who only completed 19 passes for 282 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.

Three ball carriers amounted to only 64 yards on the ground for Tennessee.

Alabama now has the next week off and will prepare to face the LSU Tigers in two weeks.

Whew. That was wild. The New Orleans Saints hurt themselves with a ton of negative plays and penalties going into the fourth quarter against the Washington Football Team, but they ultimately strung together enough minor successes to pull away with a crucial road win. Here’s everything we know about the 33-22 victory:

Staff Picks: Week 5 score predictions for Saints at Washington

Week 5 is in full swing and the New Orleans Saints are heading out for a rare road game with the Washington Football Team — a trip they’ve made just three times in the Sean Payton era. And Payton has come away with only one victory on the road in this series (in overtime, to boot), back in 2009’s Super Bowl-winning season. So this is a good chance for him to add another footnote to his resume.

What’s your score prediction? Here are our staff picks:

The New Orleans Saints’ surprising loss to the New York Giants resulted in a wide range of reactions from NFL fans on social media. With divisive quarterbacks like Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill, and Daniel Jones involved that figures to always be the case:

There aren’t many worse omens in football than losing to the Giants

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”wP3s7x51XO-1540266-7498″]

Week 4’s loss to the New York Giants has to be tough for the New Orleans Saints to accept. Their defense fell apart at the seams against a Daniel Jones, who went into the game having never thrown for 300-plus yards since Jason Garrett was hired as his play caller; Jones finished the day with 402 passing yards, including a pair of touchdown passes.

Things haven’t gone well for teams who have lost to the Giants lately. New York only won six games last season (twice beating Washington), and of those opponents just one finished the year with a winning record — the 12-4 Seattle Seahawks, who got bounced out of the playoffs in the wild-card round. The other four teams to lose to Big Blue in 2020 finished a combined 21-41-2.

This trend stretches on into 2019, when New York won just four games (again twice against Washington). None of their opponents ended with a winning record and they finished with a cumulative 15-33 record. The Giants have played a lot of bad football in recent years. They went into this game without a win for good reasons. Losing to them yourself says a lot of ugly things about your team and where it’s headed.

Of course there’s time for the Saints to defy this and turn things around. Their plan remains the same: heal up and get a handful of starters back from various reserve lists (wide receivers Tre’Quan Smith and Michael Thomas, defensive linemen David Onyemata and Marcus Davenport, linebacker Kwon Alexander, kicker Wil Lutz) around the bye week, then go on a tear. Maybe it’s a good sign that the Saints have a game with that same sorry Washington team scheduled up next.

It’s a pretty vision. Let’s hope it doesn’t become too clouded with another loss on the books.

New Orleans Saints vs. New York Giants recap: Everything we know about 27-21 loss

That’s painful. The New Orleans Saints lost their first game back in the packed Caesars Superdome in more than 600 days by playing not to lose instead of going for a win in the fourth quarter, allowing the winless New York Giants to walk into their building and outcoach and outplay Sean Payton’s team. Here’s everything we know about Week 4’s disappointing game:

The New Orleans Saints are finally, finally returning home. Sunday’s game with the New York Giants isn’t just their true 2021 home opener, having been displaced by Hurricane Ida; it’s the first time the black and gold will play in front of the NFL’s best home crowd. It’s been nearly two years since fans last packed the Caesars Superdome (last time it wasn’t even called that), and you can bet they want their voices to be heard.

So what’s your score prediction? Here are ours:

Drew Brees takes stock of the Saints after their first 3 weeks without him

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”pOmBIIpI4H-1529162-7498″]

How do the New Orleans Saints look now that Drew Brees isn’t playing quarterback for them anymore? Who better to know than Brees himself? The future Hall of Famer-turned-media analyst shared his take on NBC Sports’ “Football Night in America” panel when asked by Mike Tirico about his reaction to the Saints’ 2-1 record after they demolished the New England Patriots by a lopsided tally of 28-13.

“Well defensively I feel they’re playing outstanding,” Brees began cheerily, before his tone turned more measured. “Offensively I don’t think they have an identity right now. We know who Alvin Kamara is and we know that the Saints want to establish the run game with Alvin Kamara.”

Their fellow show host Tony Dungy correctly identified Brees’ focus on the Saints offense, which he elaborated on: “Who are they throwing the ball to? What does the passing game look like? There’s a lot of new faces, a lot of young players. Michael Thomas is out, Tre’Quan Smith is out, Emmanuel Sanders no longer there, Jared Cook is no longer there. You’ve got a lot of new players playing with a new quarterback who doesn’t have a lot of experience in this system with them. But today wasn’t pretty just like last week wasn’t pretty.”

And his biggest concern is curiosity, asking whether the team will be able to execute a critical must-pass sequence at the end of a tight game. Winston’s unsteady first couple of starts and a poorly-stocked receiving corps have him feeling anxious.

Winston still hasn’t thrown for even 150 passing yards in a single game, while just one player has gained 100-plus receiving yards through three weeks (Deonte Harris, with 112). But as Brees pointed out, it’s very early — for all of them. As Winston and his teammates get more reps together, and as Thomas and Smith return from their injuries, there’s reason to believe the group continues to improve. Let’s see how much growth they can make in the weeks ahead.
