The New Orleans Saints won't go down easily. Their playoff lives are still intact after their 23-13 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New Orleans had to win to stay alive in the NFC playoff race. Additionally, their hopes of an NFC South crown are still within reach.
Now, the Saints need a win in Week 18 accompanied by a Buccaneers loss in order to win the division.

Next, New Orleans will turn to the Carolina Panthers next weekend to get a victory over Tampa Bay. The Saints also need to beat the Atlanta Falcons.
Additionally, the Saints can get a playoff berth with a win in Week 18 and a loss from the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17 and 18.
