For a team that is sitting at 3-2 and knocking on the door of the playoff picture currently, things could have been much worse for the Kansas City Chiefs this season. Even with the inconsistency that the team has suffered this season along with key injuries to their two best players, the team encounters a point on their schedule with winnable games on the forefront until they meet division rival Denver Broncos in late November.

As far as the offensive unit, Saints head coach Sean Payton has continued to produce yards and points as if they’re life depended on it. What has hurt the team tremendously is their ability to give up yards and points thanks to a below-average defense. Now Payton takes his Saints into one of the best home crowds in the NFL with hopes of trying to pick up their third victory in a row. Here is the preview of Saints vs. Chiefs.
