Saints get chance at redemption in playoff return to Minnesota

Like a lot of people do, I feel like this Saints team NOW is a completely different Saints team than the one we saw at the start of the season. That first Minnie game was a real head-scratcher, as far as Sean Payton-era games go. It just seemed confused and just didn't look right.In a way, that team in the opener looked more like last year's Saints, or the past three years. The unique and truly fun stuff didn't start happening until Kamara's coming out party in week three, and the defense didn't really come together "for real" until just before the bye week. Once we got past the shellacking by the Patriots in the first quarter of that game, it seems like that's when something clicked and the team sort of found its new identity. They were actually pretty good in the Patriots game, other than giving up 20 ridiculous points in the first quarter. This will be an interesting rematch.
