28. New Orleans Saints (28)

The New Orleans Saints have played solid playoff contenders from one year ago in each of their three preseason games. Unfortunately for the Saints, this team has yet to win in the preseason and let’s hope this isn’t a sign of what to expect in 2016.

New Orleans is coming off a tough 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers as the ground game struggled to get anything going on offense. While Drew Brees (9 of 12 for 78 yards with one touchdown) looked impressive in the passing game, Mark Ingram finished with a disappointing 17 rushing yards on seven carries.

For years, the offense has been the main reason behind the success of the Saints and that should be the case once again when looking at all of the talent at wide receiver. This defense appears to be heading towards another year in which they rank at the bottom of the league.
