New Orleans Saints are having a rough two weeks they're on a two game losing streak for the first time since Week 2 and Week 3 of the 2020 NFL Season. If history repeats itself the Saints could be in for a good playoff run.
After the New Orleans Saints lost two consecutive games in Week 2 and Week 3 they ripped off a nine game winning streak. New Orleans is hoping that this happens again. It would be a great start on Christmas Day against the Minnesota Vikings.
Minnesota Vikings are also hoping that history repeats itself. The last time the Minnesota Vikings lost two straight games they ripped off a three game winning streak.
