2016 NFL Power Rankings Week 9: Arizona Cardinals
By Scott Allen
16. New Orleans Saints (3-4)
The New Orleans Saints vaulted themselves right back into the playoff picture with their biggest win of the season last Sunday at home. They defeated the Seahawks 25-20.
After losing a tough one to the Chiefs the week before and then winning an offensive battle with the Panthers the week before that, the Saints should be taken seriously. Drew Brees still leads the ship, so never count them out.
Their defense is still suspect but their offense is rolling. After a trip to the bay area this weekend to take on the 49ers, they have back to back games against last season’s Super Bowl participants.
They host the Denver Broncos before going on Sunday Night Football to play at the Panthers on November 20th. They also have trips to Atlanta and Arizona in the second half of the season. It should get very interesting down the stretch. They currently sit two games behind the Falcons which can be cut down on Sunday with a win.
