For the second straight week, the Saints came away with a loss. However, Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs came away with some positive takeaways.

I am going to be honest; I am not sure I have ever witnessed a stranger Saints game than what took place between the Chiefs and Saints in Week 15.

Between Drew Brees’ return, dropped interceptions, a chaotic special teams fumble, and a weird overall game script, it is safe to say that this was not a normal game by any means. Thus, analysis of it becomes much more complicated.

Believe it or not, but there are some actual positive takeaways from this game. At the same, there certainly are several negative ones as well. In essence, this game was the epitome of the good, the bad, and the ugly.

So, why not adopt that theme for today’s article?

For the sake of all Saints fans, let us find positives from this loss, while also addressing the persistent problems that this game exposed.
