Don’t look now, but the New Orleans Saints only need a couple of highly specific scenarios to play out before they’re on top of the NFC South. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night in a stinker, falling short 27-22 in front of a sold-out home crowd.
If the Saints take care of business against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday and the Atlanta Falcons fall to the Carolina Panthers (who upset the Bucs last week), it puts New Orleans in a complicated tie with Tampa Bay and Carolina for No. 1 in the division to start November. Now who saw that coming?
