The New Orleans Saints are preparing for what basically amounts to a playoff elimination game when they face the Los Angeles Rams this coming Sunday.
The Saints already face an uphill climb just to avoid missing the postseason for the 3rd straight year in a row.
New Orleans finds itself in this position unfortunately thanks to a litany of self-inflicted mistakes and embarrassing gaffes that have made headlines nationally across the country and throughout the NFL, in a past 2 weeks that have brought back some unpleasant memories of a much darker period in Saints history.
