There have been some improbable, standout moments in the past that have gone in the New Orleans Saints’ favor against the Washington Commanders.
Remember when Drew Brees threw an interception, then Robert Meachem stripped the ball away and returned it for a touchdown? What about Alvin Kamara bobbling a pass into a crowd of defenders only to catch it and squeeze through en route to the touchdown, and help send the game to overtime? Both of these plays were against Washington.
With likely no Derek Carr, the Saints find themselves in a deeper hole. New Orleans will need channel some of that energy and pull off an improbable moment or two to walk away with an improbable victory versus the Commanders.
Washington isn’t Thanos. There have been questions on if they can defeat good teams, but the thing is the Saints aren’t a good team.
The Saints are walking into a matchup they are supposed to lose and looking for an upset. It may be a turnover that is negated for some reason, or a touchdown that leaves you wondering how that happened. Regardless of the form it comes in, New Orleans could use some fortuitous bounces again.
