Back in Week 2, the Saints seemed to be heading downhill after Drew Brees went down with a thumb injury, but thanks to Teddy Bridgewater keeping the offense in great shape, New Orleans is riding an impressive five-game winning streak.
Facing the Cardinals at home may seem like the best-case scenario for a team like the Saints, but with Arizona riding an impressive three-game winning streak of their own, this game is far from a guarantee.
Does Kyler Murray have what it takes to help the Cardinals extend their streak to four games?
The rookie quarterback has looked quite impressive over the last couple of games, but there’s no question that New Orleans will be his toughest challenge to date.
Since Arizona would love to make a statement by defeating one of the top teams in the NFC, New Orleans better be extra cautious on Sunday, or the Saints could end up losing for the first time since Week 2.
