If I had told you the Saints would put up 20 points in the first half but the Seahawks would be leading at halftime, you probably wouldn't believe me.
Unfortunately, it's true.
The Saints offense has been pretty productive though a Julius Jones fumble wound up costing three points. The defense looks bad, Roman Harper being the biggest culprit. The Seahawks are exploiting the hell out of him. Malcolm Jenkins have never been more missed.
