The New Orleans Saints trail the Detroit Lions going into halftime with the score 21-3. Matthew Stafford can do no wrong against the Saints defense led by Brandon Browner, who is going "Full Browner" tonight. If the Saints are lucky, a shootout awaits in the second half, but not much has been shown indicating that will be the case so far.

The Saints still have a glimmer of a chance here, but a lot of things are going to have to go right. The offense will have to break loose and score points quickly, while the defense has to make some stops, any stops in fact. Keep those fingers crossed in the second half, and the refreshments flowing. Bottoms up to better days, folks!
