The New Orleans Saints have a chance Sunday to do something they’ve never done.

With a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Saints would clinch the 2018 NFC South title, which would give them their first back-to-back division championships in franchise history.

The Saints (10-2) could also clinch the division with a tie, and even if they lose, they could seal the crown if the Carolina Panthers (6-6) lose or tie against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.



Sean Payton said he’s addressed the possibility of winning the division with the Saints, but the primary focus this week is on how to beat Tampa Bay (5-7).

“I think the most important thing is this team in front of us, this game in front of us and finding a way to get to 11 — period. Let’s get to 11,” Payton said. “They’re all smart enough to know that, hey, you’re chasing other things that can enhance your possible opportunities down the road, and so it’s that simple. The focus is really getting to 11 this week, and how do we do that?”
