The Saints have been placed towards the bottom of the league in the NFL Power Rankings, and it's on them to change the narrative.
NFL Power Rankings always pique the interest. For the Saints, they aren't really being taken too seriously this season, as evidenced by Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio. Hiswere based on where teams are at currently, not how they will finish in 2024. They're behind the Bucs and Falcons by a good bit, coming in third in the division.
The Saints are three years removed from the postseason, with two of those seasons ending in familiar fashion. New Orleans has been close, but the too little, too late rallies have not been good enough. Meanwhile, Kirk Cousins should help the Falcons, but they have a ton of questions like the Saints. The Saints do have potential this year, especially going with an offensive overhaul under Klint Kubiak. Derek Carr will be an instrumental piece of the puzzle to help push New Orleans over the edge. Both coaches and players have mentioned that the team just needs one more game to be in that mix, which is true, but they can't afford to drop games like the one against the Packers last season. They're also going to have beat good teams to be taken seriously.
For now, there's cautious optimism for New Orleans this year, but they'll continue to be at the bottom of power rankings for the next several months. If you care about that type of thing, just know that the team doesn't.I officially started covering the New Orleans Saints & other NFL topics in 2011.
