The road to the Super Bowl in the NFC goes through New Orleans."As we get closer and closer to the end of the regular season Ted Ginn Jersey Stitched , it’s time to start expanding ourlook each week to other teams in the NFC playoff hunt.Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY SportsComing into Week 16, the New Orleans Saints (12-2) had already locked up the NFC South. If Saints could beat the Pittsburgh Steelers (8-5-1) at home, they would lock up the #1 seed in the NFC and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. If the Saints lost but the Chicago Bears (10-4) also lost to the San Francisco 49ers (4-10), the Saints would at least be guaranteed a first round bye. If the Bears tied, and the Los Angeles Rams (11-3) also tied the Arizona Cardinals (3-11), the Saints would be get the #1 seed even with a loss to the Steelers.Well, none of that other “what-if” stuff ended up mattering.

If the Rams win, they will clinch the #2 seed and a first round bye in the playoffs.

The Philadelphia Eagles (outside the playoffs as it stands now at 8-7) will also be watching that Vikings game. If the Eagles can beat the Washington team (7-8) and the Bears beat the Vikings, the Eagles would be able to split past the Vikings as the #6 seed.In the divisional round, it would be impossible for the Saints to play the Los Angeles Rams or the Chicago Bears, regardless of the outcome of their Week 17 games.Because the NFL reseeds after each round of the playoffs, the Saints would play the lowest remaining seed out of the Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks Youth Tommylee Lewis Jersey , and/or one of the Minnesota Vikings or Philadelphia Eagles - whichever of those two makes the playoffs.But at this point, the Saints focus is on one thing only:#GetHealthy The Saints got a takeaway. They got a successful replay challenge. They did not get any points.It began with 12:53 remaining in the second quarter when Marshon Lattimore forced an Amari Cooper fumble and then recovered it at the Dallas 39. Lattimore borrowed Ezekiel Elliott‘s celebration, pulling $23 out of his sock to donate into the Salvation Army red kettle. (Lattimore wears No. 23. Elliott donated $21 for his jersey number.)The Saints then benefited with a replay challenge after Drew Brees hit Dan Arnold to the Dallas 4 for 18 yards before Xavier Woods knocked the ball loose. Officials ruled it an incomplete pass, but Sean Payton challenged.Al Riveron reversed the call from New York, giving the Saints the ball at the Dallas 7 after Michael Thomas recovered the fumble. The Saints faced fourth-and-goal from the 1, but Alvin Kamara was stopped by Jeff Heath and DeMarcus Lawrence for no gain.Payton now is out of challenges, and the Saints still have no points.The Cowboys lead 10-0 late in the second quarter.
