Of all teams with 2 or fewer losses in the NFC, only Saints have a loss(es) to teams with more than 2 losses.
7-1 Packers lost to Saints (5-2)
7-1 Cardinals lost to Packers (7-1)
7-1 Rams lost to Cardinals (7-1)
6-1 Cowboys lost to Buccaneers (6-2)
6-2 Buccaneers lost to Rams (7-1) and Saints (5-2)
5-2 Saints Panthers (4-4) and Giants (2-5)
Not only is it insane how many teams have just one loss (plus another two with only two losses) in a single conference this late in a season but also, even if this has happened before (four or more teams with one or less losses through week 8), I doubt the top five teams ever had this kind of strength of loss: 37-9 for an .804 winning decimal or 12.9 wins on a 16 game schedule or 13.7 wins on a 17 game schedule. The Saints' SOL is 6-9 or .400 or 6.4 wins on a 16 game schedule or 6.8 wins on a 17 game schedule. Not knocking them for this but just amazed at the SOL for the five teams above them plus how sharply that contrasts the Saints' SOL.
