The New Orleans Saints have assumed a self-inflicted, entirely unnecessary identity: Come-from-behind underdogs. The Saints rose to 5-2 in a “thrilling” 26-23 overtime win against the Chicago Bears – you’d think we played Halloween night with this ghastly performance. New Orleans has won four straight games after putting themselves needlessly in a deficit; after blowing yet another 10-point fourth quarter lead, they were tepidly victorious.
Saints fans, buckle up and get used to it. This isn’t a 2009 season – it’s about as 2020 as it gets. If we’re lucky, we’ll win ugly into the postseason.
