Raise your hand if your NFL team won a game in the opening week. New Orleans Saints fans are able to do that, but every other NFC South fanbase can’t say the same.
The Atlanta Falcons were embarrassed at home by the visiting Seattle Seahawks. Teddy Bridgewater’s Carolina Panthers put up more of a fight, but were still defeated by the Las Vegas Raiders. And of course, the Saints dispatched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It leaves New Orleans alone on top of the early division standings:
- Saints 1-0
- Buccaneers 0-1
- Falcons 0-1
- Panthers 0-1
It’s a long season, sure.
