This is Hill’s second time winning the award in his career.

Another win for Darren Rizzi

NFL.com - 23 (=)

“Don’t look now, but the Rizzlers have won two straight, and — thanks to Atlanta dropping another game — the NFC South and a potential wild-card berth remain mathematically within reach. New Orleans might need a tall ladder and a long arm to get there, of course. This might be one of those cases where the bye week works against a team like the Saints. They’ve gotten their mojo working the past two games to rebound from their seven-game losing streak; stalling that momentum with a Week 12 bye...

Who was the Saints’ breakout player vs. the Browns?

With Week 11 in the books, let’s take a look at who stood out for New Orleans.

The New Orleans Saints defeated the Cleveland Browns 35-14 on Sunday afternoon, securing their second consecutive victory under interim head coach Darren Rizzi.

This week, an entire position group deserves recognition for stepping up and delivering an outstanding performance when the team needed them most. The breakout group from the Saints’ Week 11 win over the Browns was the tight end room, including Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau, and Taysom Hill, with the exception of rookie UDFA Dallin Holker, who saw just eight offensive...

Saints Super Bowl Odds: Week 12

New Orleans heads into the bye on a two-game win streak, but is it too late for their odds to improve?

The New Orleans Saints have won their second game in a row, and combined with a loss by the Atlanta Falcons now sit just two games back in the NFC South. They have given themselves a chance to steal the division, but it isn’t going to be easy. For the first time this year we have a new #1 team, as the Detroit Lions now find themselves the favorite to win the Super Bowl for the first time in...

The good, the bad, and the ugly: Saints vs. Browns

New Orleans gets their second win in a row under interim head coach Darren Rizzi.

The Good: Erik McCoy’s return & Taysom Hill

The New Orleans Saints Swiss Army knife was more like a one-man army on Sunday. Hill caught 8 passes for 50 yards, completed one pass for 18 yards, returned one kick for 42 yards, and ran 7 times for 138 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Saints offense looks completely different when Hill is in the lineup, as he arguably has the highest ceiling of production of anyone on offense. Center Erik McCoy returning to the lineup...

The New Orleans Saints have now won 2 games under interim head coach Darren Rizzi, reigniting a fire and passion from not just the players but fans as well.

After a 7-game losing streak, Rizzi made some much needed positive and impactful changes not only on the field, but off, leading to two back-to-back wins. All of which brings up a huge question already... if Rizzi continues on this successful track, would you like to see the Saints keep him as head coach permanently or hire from outside?

What Saints TE Taysom Hill did vs. the Browns was truly historic

The Swiss Army Knife had a stat line not seen in nearly 50 years.

Sunday afternoon inside the Caesars Superdome, the New Orleans Saints picked up their second straight win as they defeated the Cleveland Browns 35-14.

The defense made a ton of highlight plays, Derek Carr looked sharp, but the biggest storyline came from the 35-year-old tight end/wide receiver/running back.

Taysom Hill finished the contest with 138 rushing yards, 50 receiving yards, 18 yards passing, 42 yards of kick return, and three touchdowns. He even threw an interception and lost a fumble to put a blemish on that stat...

Overreactions: Saints vs. Browns

Another week goes by, and we’re left asking the same question: has New Orleans found its head coach of the future?

The New Orleans Saints have now won consecutive games for the first time since Week 2 after defeating the Cleveland Browns 35-14 on Sunday in the Superdome.

Shorthanded? No problem. The offense appears to have finally found its rhythm again, and the defense is stepping up when it matters most. But has the team regained its mojo too late?

Let’s discuss two potential overreactions following the Saints’ Week 11 triumph over the Browns:
