"The good news is we've got another chance this weekend to get to 7-4," Payton said Monday, a day after four turnovers plagued an otherwise prolific offense in a 31-16 loss to Cincinnati. "We're tied for first with Carolina. ... There's a lot of football left in this season and lot of important football games left in this season."
New Orleans' defense has given up some big plays recently, but the real problem has been turnovers. New Orleans committed four against Cincinnati and three a week earlier during a 38-31 loss at Pittsburgh.
