Where do the latest NFL power rankings have the New Orleans Saints going into Week 1’s showdown with the division-rival Atlanta Falcons? Here’s the take from Mark Lane over at Touchdown Wire, who slots the Saints at No. 18:
“The Saints may not have Sean Payton, but they still have cohesion with much of the coaching staff still in place. Dennis Allen coached in place of Payton during some COVID absences, and Pete Carmichael is still running the offense. The Saints also have one of the best reserve quarterbacks in the NFL in Andy Dalton.”
