NFL Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 Teams Sit Entering Week 13?
By Peter Panacy
Yes, the Saints actually stay put in this week’s NFL power rankings, despite a 49-21 demolishing of the Rams in Week 12.
Why, well a few other teams simply jumped them. And the victory over the Rams, whose quarterback was starting just his second game, doesn’t tell us much. We know how good New Orleans’ offense is. Quarterback Drew Brees too.
The only problem is this team won’t go anywhere with such a porous defense. Just think, this unit allowed nearly 400 yards passing to 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick only a few weeks ago.
Three of the Saints’ remaining five games will be against NFC South division opponents. So we’ll get a good idea how New Orleans measures up against some better offenses down the stretch.
