For the past two seasons, the New Orleans Saints have been plagued with injuries. This season fans were hopeful that the Saints could overcome the injury bug and use their easy schedule to walk into the playoffs. Well, the season hasn't even begun and the Saints are riddled with multiple injuries to a multitude of players both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball.
The Saints close out the preseason with a 27-10 victory over the Chargers. There were plenty of takeaways from the final matchup before the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Saints defense performed so well it drove Seahawks coach Pete Caroll to the brink. So much so that Carroll preceded to throw his gum in anger, and yes the gum he was chewing! And the reaction on Twitter to Carroll's gum throwing was priceless.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston had social media buzzing after his pregame response to DeMario Davis's pregame speech, as did his risky TD throw.
