Going against the odds: Since 2002, only one team has made the playoffs after starting the season with five or fewer wins through 13 games.
Too many turnovers: New Orleans has 13 giveaways over its last five games (1-4 record).
Brees slumping: For the first time since 2007, Drew Bress has gone back-to-back games with 0 TDs and multiple INTs.
Improved defense: After allowing 400.6 yards per game over their first nine contests, the Saints have allowed just 290.5 YPG over their last four.
