The New Orleans Saints went 4-2 this season after defeating Seattle Seahawks in a close encounter on Monday. The Seahawks lost by 10-13 in the Lumen Field, making them 2-5 this season. And now with three straight losses for the Seahawks, they occupy the last spot in the NFC West Conference way below the Cardinals.

And now as Geno Smith fails to produce desirable results for the team, the whole burden will fall on the shoulders of Russell Wilson when he gets back from his finger injury. The Saints, on the other hand, have marched past the Seahawks as they stand right below the Buccaneers to occupy second place in the NFC South.
