Everything was setting up perfectly for the Saints to return to the Super Bowl even though they failed to repeat as NFC South champions.

They won in Atlanta, deflating the Falcons’ belief in their invincibility with Matt Ryan at the Georgia Dome.

Green Bay, statistically the most dominant team in the conference, sneaked into the playoffs as a very dangerous No. 6 seed, giving New Orleans the real possibility of a championship home game.
