Saints Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) -
The Saints go into the 2010 season knowing full well the odds are stacked against them—in more ways than one.
After winning Super Bowl XLIV, the Saints know the best way to get to the title game is to first win your division title and earn home-field advantage if possible to make the journey at least a little less difficult.
In other words, it starts with winning a second straight NFC South title—which no team has managed to do since the division was formed as part of the NFL's realignment in 2002.
If they can do that, the Saints will try to go from there and repeat as Super Bowl champions—which only eight teams have done. Only 11 teams managed to even get back to the title game.
But the Saints aren't much thinking about any long odds.
