The Saints get three New York teams in a row sporting a combined record of 5-1. First we get 1-1 Buffalo, then the surprising 2-0 Jets ending with maybe the best team in the NFL now, the 2-0 Giants.
I do not know if statistics such as this are kept, but has anyone played three New York teams in a row?
These are all going to be tough games against good football teams. The Saints schedule softens up later. It would be huge if they could take at least two out of these three games, starting with the Bills. Winning all three would be awesome.
There is a Louisiana conection with all three teams. Kyle Williams and Josh Reed of LSU play for Buffalo. Northwestern fans will remember Demitrius Bell who is listed as a starter at right tackle.
The Jets have two LSU players as well, Alan Faneca and Howard Green. Faneca has been a steady all pro.
The Giants have three players with Lousiana connections. Corey Webster of LSU starts at cornerback. CC Brown, who played at UL, is a safety. Brandon Jacobs who is from Lousiana but played at Auburn and then Souther Illinois, is their monster running back.(As an aside some will remember Jacobs was at Auburn with Cadillac Williams and Ron Brown. What a group of backs!)
This will be quite an interesting stretch. Beating a New York team is like eating chinese food. Right after you beat one you feel like beating another one.
