NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) – Take One: Imperfect, yet significant win
Sunday’s win over Chicago wasn’t perfect. Fortunately for the Saints though, it didn’t have to be.
The Saints faced a rookie quarterback making his third start, created five takeaways, committed just one penalty at home and yet somehow narrowly escaped with a seven-point win.
The pessimist would say that’s hardly a cause for celebration. The optimist may say wins in the NFL are hard and getting the victory is all that matters.
The realist would say, who cares? Both sides are accurate. But the bottom line is the Saints are 5-4 at the midway point of this 2023 NFL season and hold sole possession of first place of the NFC South.
