The New Orleans Saints face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football to kickoff Week 7 in the NFL. The Jaguars sit at 4-2 and are firmly in the driver’s seat in the AFC South, while the Saints find themselves at 3-3 and are staring third place in the NFC South directly in the face. Both teams could potentially leave this game with the same record, but their paths feel completely divergent.
There is a sense of hopelessness, a shroud of darkness that has fallen over the Saints fanbase that has become increasingly difficult to shake.
