This six pack looks a little different this week because the Packers are enjoying a first round playoff bye! Instead, we’re going to look at one key factor for each of the six NFC teams playing on Wild Card Weekend.
1. Saints March Into Playoffs with Balanced Offense & Defense
The New Orleans Saints might be the most balanced team left in the NFC playoff picture, and that’s no disrespect to Green Bay’s number one ranked offense. It’s just that the Saints are fifth overall in both points for and points against. Balance.
In the first matchup between the Saints and the Chicago Bears, this game came down to overtime with New Orleans barely escaping with a 26-23 victory.
