Not wanting to rain on the parade but this requires tempering… Context : Raiders are about 25th in pass defense, tied for 32nd in sacks, and giving up the same average number of points as we are. Winston had the same kind of blocking just didn’t play against the Raiders.

Agree the Saints beat a team they should beat. But they haven't done that this season so I'm encouraged.

Don't want to get too excited but starters returning from injury at the right time...

Wholeheartedly agree that a win is a win and we are in desperate need of a couple before reparations to fans enter the discussion lol. I’m just not ready to have hope for 3rd in our division this season.
