The Saints have been on a blaze this season; they have climbed the rungs of the NFL standing ladder to a more than impressive 9-0. A weak schedule and division helped the Saints to this record but they have also pulled off some inspiring victories, @ The Eagles, vs. The Jets, vs. The Giants, @ The Dolphins, and vs. The Falcons. The Saints are clearly the team to beat in the NFC this year so who will deal them the illustrious first blow? Or are we looking at the second 16-0 squad in NFL history?
The Offense is the heart and soul of this team, with an average of 36.78 points per game the Saints are driving dangerously close to tying the New England Patriots single season scoring record of 589 points (2007) in which they averaged 36.8 points per game. If the offense is the heart and soul of this team, then the defence must be the brain and lungs because this is a fully functioning unit who is leading the league in turnovers with 25, 17 of which are interceptions and 8 of which are recovered fumbles.
As a result of their current success, it seems more and more that the Saints are unbeatable and could possibly push for that 16-0. However I believe there is one team in the league that has something to say about it, the only 16-0 team in NFL history The New England Patriots. Two weeks from now, on November 30th the Pats will take on the Saints in New Orleans and you can bet both of these teams have this game circled with an extremely substantial writing implement.
