The Saints got knocked off by rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday, losing control of the NFC’s first-round bye in the process. It’s led fans to weigh all kinds of conspiracy theories, like did Saints head coach Sean Payton lose that game on purpose in an effort to motivate his team? Host Ryan O’Leary and Saints Wire editor John Sigler get into all of that while discussing Taysom Hill’s uneven performance, and where the team stands now in the NFC pecking order. Episode 16 of the Saints Wire podcast is powered by the USA Today Sports Media Group, with a fantasy segment from The Huddle and sports betting advice from the Sportsbook Wire.
