NEW ORLEANS -- In theory, the New Orleans Saints still have a path to the playoffs. But the thought of this “yo-yo team” winning four straight games is almost inconceivable at this point.
Sure, ups and downs have become the norm for NFL teams. But the Saints (5-7) have taken it to the extreme.
They have exactly one three-game win streak the past three seasons. Over the past eight days, they went from trouncing the Los Angeles Rams 49-21 to completely flopping in a 28-13 loss to the Detroit Lions.
