The New Orleans Saints weren’t as impressive as some fans would have liked them to be, but they are still plenty good enough.
In beating the Minnesota Vikings 14-9 Thursday night, they proved they could win an ugly game as well as in style. So, for the second straight week, the defending Super Bowl champions are the No.1-ranked team in the NFL Power Rankings by The Times-Picayune.
There is a new No. 2 team, however. The Green Bay Packers have moved up three spots to the second position, followed by the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens.
