Getting to Know the New Orleans Saints
 

It’s that time of the week again: Getting to know the Chiefs next opponent. This week, it’s the New Orleans Saints. So sit back, relax, and read some stuff.

The Saints have been in the limelight for quite some time. The travesty that was Hurricane Katrina coupled with the sudden and drastic improvement of the team under the leadership of Drew Brees and head coach Sean Payton catapulted a once downtrodden team into an eventual Super Bowl winner. The darlings of ESPN and bandwagon fans alike, the Saints were in the news this offseason for all the wrong reasons.

Bounty-gate has been beat to death by media enough this offseason, so I’m sure you all know Payton was suspended for the season, Joe Vitt, the eventual interim head coach and linebackers coach, is suspended the first six weeks, and Aaron Kromer is the interim coach for the first six weeks as well as the offensive line coach. If you found that confusing, it’s because it is. And it appears that some of that offseason turmoil and distraction has carried over to season, causing a 0-2 start for a team not used to missing the playoffs in recent years.
