5-7. . New Orleans Saints. 21. team. 15.

Just imagine if the New Orleans Saints had a good defense.

Quarterback Drew Brees and Co. can’t do it all. And this was the case in New Orleans’ 28-13 home loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

The Lions gained a total of 422 all-purpose yards during the contest, and the Saints had no answers for Detroit’s quarterback, Matthew Stafford.

Meanwhile, Week 13 was a game Brees might like to forget — tossing three picks in the loss.

So when Brees and the offense aren’t on point, the Saints are going to struggle. This game is a perfect example.
