And all that being said, that one’s over and now we’ve got to go on to the next one.”New Orleans (4-4) will head into that next game tied atop the anemic NFC South, even with Atlanta (4-4) and a half game ahead of Tampa Bay (3-4).And offensive leaders sounded more than a little validated after their unit produced five touchdowns for the first time all season after a series of high-profile red zone failures in previous weeks.“Even though the whole world was falling down, I was like, ‘Inside our building, we are getting better...
