Four years into this new New Orleans Saints world order, certain empirical truths can be applied annually to the black-and-gold universe.

Drew Brees will throw around 30 touchdown passes.

 

He is rarely going to get sacked or turn the ball over.

The offense is going to gain about 400 yards per game and lead the league. The special teams will feature a strong kicking game, an erratic, sometimes spectacular return game and shaky coverage units.

These things are certain, as inevitable as death and taxes.
