4. New Orleans Saints

As impressive as it’s been to watch the New Orleans Saints finish on top of the NFC South for a third year in a row, it’s even more impressive that Drew Brees still seems capable of playing for a few more years at a high level.

A few seasons ago, it seems like Brees would have one or two good years left at best, but with the future Hall of Famer being part of the MVP conversation at one point in 2019, this shows how there is still plenty of gas left in the old tank.

Most quarterbacks would do anything to be part of an offense Brees finds himself in with two of the top weapons to work with in Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara.

The good news for Philadelphia over this 2020 matchup is instead of having to play in New Orleans, this will take place at Lincoln Financial Field, and could give the Eagles an extra advantage if the weather conditions are colder than normal.

Even if the Saints have found ways to win in Philadelphia before, if Eagles fans can find a way to make it a hostile environment as usual, this could still give them an advantage.
