First Byte Lions preview: These aren’t your 2016 New Orleans Saints

It feels like we’re still in the wake of the Carolina Panthers and Eric Ebron disaster of 2017, but we’re just days away from Detroit Lions football all over again. The Lions hit the road yet again to a familiar place: New Orleans to take on the Saints for the fourth year in a row.

To help preview the game, we nabbed Bob Rose from Canal Street Chronicles to give us the full breakdown of the Saints.
