Marcus Williams' huge goof in Minny and the entire offense not executing since week 13 of last season.

Honestly, we were lucky that Alshon Jeffrey tipped that ball the week prior, we were going home otherwise.

The offense was dire for last stretch of the season as the Defense only got better. Thats the reason we won games late in the season, our D.

Gotta defend Mr. Marcus on the Minnesota loss; the rookie safety had just been told by the coaches to avoid contact, contesting a long pass, so that's the proper context to understanding that play...

Also, Payton had the Saints offense on a roll, running game was getting hot and he flubbed a 3rd and 1 call with Kamara up the middle instead of off-tackle (or Ingram up the middle) and kicked a FG...

That drive stays alive, they kill remaining time, likely score either way...
