Following head coach Sean Payton's 2012 suspension for the bounty scandal, the Saints have gone a 10-game regular season winning streak dating back to 2011 after securing last Sunday's 16-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

During this streak they've managed to average 32.6 points and 471.1 yards, but have only scored 19.5 and 395.0 yards in 2013.

"We've got a lot to fix. We've got a ton of football to play," Payton said. "Obviously, we've got to be better at scoring and I've got to do a better job."

However, despite the team's scoring slump quarterback Drew Brees is currently seeking his eight straight 300-yard passing game after completing 26 of 46 for 322 yards with one touchdown last week, with his favorite target being tight-end Jimmy Graham , who had 10 catches for 179 yards-including a 56-yard touchdown score.

The Saints have also seen an improvement in their defense as well under new coordinator Rob Ryan after having an NFC-worst 28.4 points per game and a league-record 7,042 yards last season.

"We are flying pretty high as a defense," linebacker Curtis Lofton said. "Last year is last year, that's in the past. This is a new team, new defense, new defensive coordinator, so we moved way past that."
