After an amazing season in New Orleans, they came up short in the playoffs once again in what was likely Drew Brees’ final season. All Saints fans will respect the effort and elite play given by the future HOFer over his career and what he’s brought to the city of New Orleans. Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas became a deadly duo on offense, significantly propelling Brees and the Saints to dominate the NFC South and win their division for the fourth straight season.
