Although the Saints’ hopes for home-field advantage throughout the NFL playoffs likely went bye-bye in a dismal 34-7 loss to Seattle on Monday night, they still have the inside track to a bye in the first round.

The key is bouncing back quickly on a short week and being emotionally ready for streaking NFC South co-leader Carolina on Sunday in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, where the Saints have been every bit as dominant this season as the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field.

New Orleans is 6-0 at home, winning by an average of 17.1 points.

“We got up there (to Seattle) and we got whooped,” said quarterback Drew Brees, whose streak of 43 games with at least 200 passing yards ended. “We have to be able to move past that and certainly not let it linger and focus on the here and now. This game is the most important of the season.

“It’s a divisional opponent at home and one that is vying for the same thing we are — a divisional championship.”
