Saints are 6-1 despite having faced NFL’s fourth-hardest schedule

The New Orleans Saints are one of the best teams in the NFL. You don’t have to tell them that though, they already know. When looking at the list of opponents New Orleans has put away, they have had the fourth-toughest strength of schedule through Week 7.

Since Drew Brees left their Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans has gone on a five-game winning streak against some of the strongest teams and fiercest defenses in the league. Backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has done a great job in navigating the Saints through challenges such as great defenses fielded by the Seattle Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys, and Chicago Bears.
