Concluding their Sunday matchup against the New England Patriots, the Saints have now claimed their fifth loss, with three of those games being within a score. Their inability to close out close games has held New Orleans back. To think with just one extra successful trip to the end zone in those three games within a score, the Saints' 1-5 record could be significantly better, sitting at 4-2.
When games come down to the last stretch, that's when you want to see your team play at its best, keeping mistakes to a minimum, and pull out the win, overshadowing all the ups and downs during the game, but New Orleans couldn't do so.
