So far in this short season, the Saints have played the toughest strength of schedule of any team in the league and by a good margin. The Saints opponents have a winning percentage of .621. The next closest is KC with a SoS at .600.



The Saints are also tied with KC for the best SoV, strength of victory at .588



None of the teams the Saints have played so far have a losing record.



Three of the 5 Saints opponents currently lead their divisions.



And 4 of the 5 teams would be in the playoffs, if they were held today.



Again, 5 games isn't a lot to go on but it's better to look good in a snap-shot like this, than as bad as they have in the last few seasons.

I guess an argument could be made that the Dolphins at 1-1 didn’t have a losing record when they played the Saints.

Green Bay Players will be playing TOUGH. No Rogers - so every player will take it upon themselves to win. I'd almost rather have him playing.

Notice how low they grade A.J. Klein. From what I've seen over the last few weeks, he's been solid. Not sure I'm fully understanding how PFF are grading out linebackers.

Odd.
