The best way to describe the New Orleans Saints is to keep things very simple. In Week 1, they were extremely good in a 38-3 laugher over the Green Bay Packers. In Week 2, they were remarkably bad in a 26-7 walloping at the hands of the Carolina Panthers.
Power rankers don’t quite know what to do with the Saints. After many people put them in the Top 5 after Week 1, most have them in the late teens post Week 2. Only Sports Illustrated managed to show any kind of restraint after bumping them up to No.
