ON THE MOVE
New Orleans
Some still don’t totally believe in the Saints, but what they have done is astounding. This team is 5-1. We all know what the Saints have overcome, but for this team to be a consistent force and beat a solid team like the Philadelphia Eagles and win its fifth game in six tries is amazing. This great story will be fun to watch the rest of the season.
