NEW ORLEANS -- It doesn’t seem right that the New Orleans Saints are still stuck in third place in the NFC after a performance like that.
But the Saints (11-3) still have a realistic path to the No. 1 or No. 2 seed. And no matter where they wind up, it obviously bodes well that they are capable of the kind of excellence they displayed in Monday night’s 34-7 rout of the Indianapolis Colts.
It was as close to perfect as it gets in the NFL. And quite frankly, it was the kind of complete performance New Orleans had been seeking all season.
