Week 7: New Orleans Saints 24, Baltimore Ravens 23

Cam Newton wasn’t the only quarterback completing a fourth quarter comeback on Sunday as Drew Brees tossed touchdown pass No. 500 before two late touchdowns and a field goal gave the Saints a lead. Their defense couldn’t hold but Ravens kicker Justin Tucker missed his first ever extra point attempt and Baltimore fell by one, keeping the Saints atop the division.

Week 8: at Minnesota Vikings (4-2-1), 8:20pm*

On the road at Minnesota the Saints face a tough Vikings opponent who are the winners of three straight. A win would propel them into a show down with the currently undefeated Los Angeles Rams but a loss could have New Orleans suffering two straight and falling back to the pack.
