Even with the cake walk schedules these two teams have remaining they will each lose another game for sure. But with defenses like they have I don't see either team going to championship games when defense starts to really matter. Neither have it and it's going to cost them.

From Yahoo Sports...

"1. New Orleans Saints (9-1, LW: 2)

Here was the offensive yardage from each of the Eagles’ drives on Sunday, and remember this is still a Philadelphia offense with a lot of talent: 9, 6, 0, 75, 19, 0, 16, 17, 9, 14, 31. And that last drive was meaningless (it was insane that Doug Pederson still had Carson Wentz dropping back to pass). So over the Eagles’ first 10 possessions, they had one drive with more than 19 offensive yards. If the Saints defense is going to play like that the rest of the season? Game over."
