1. Why did New Orleans lose another home game?
Hurricane Katrina forced the New Orleans Saints to play an additional road game in 2005 against the New York Giants.
This year New Orleans will travel to London's Wembley Stadium to play another "home" game Oct. 26 (Week 8) against the San Diego Chargers, giving the Saints nine road trips for the second time in four seasons.
"Why do we have the [eight] home games, and all of a sudden the people in New Orleans don't have an opportunity; they've lost one? I don't know," Chargers general manager A.J. Smith said. "I'm sure they have a system. Maybe it's a coin flip.''
According to NFL spokesperson Michael Signora, no coin flip was involved. Signora said it simply was "a league decision."
