“It ain’t no party if you ain’t got that Lombardi!”
It felt as though 1-3 was a real possibility, when the New Orleans Saints decided to play the kind of football that we all thought them capable of. From down 14-0 to the Detroit Lions in the blink of an eye, the Saints were ahead 35-14. Only an injury to right tackle Ryan Ramczyk really derailed New Orleans’ offense, which until that point was truly humming for the first time this season.
A 35-29 win in Detroit and a 2-2 record figured to slightly improve New Orleans’ odds of making the playoffs, as well as their odds of representing the NFC in Super Bowl LV.
