The New Orleans Saints take on the defending Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos, with an opportunity to get above .500 for the first time this year. Although facing the Champs and their 4th ranked defense should be a significant challenge, it couldn't have come at a better time for the Saints. Denver's defense is riddled with injuries, while their offense has been far less than desirable all season. New Orleans, meanwhile, has been rolling on offense and has been seeing key players starting to return for their undermanned defense.
The Saints have quite a mountain to climb against the defending champions, but they may just be up to the challenge this week at home in the Superdome.
