The New Orleans Saints (4-5) hopes to bounce back from a disappointing loss in Week 9 as they challenge the Washington Redskins (3-5) at the latter's home stadium of FedEx Field on Sunday for a 2015 NFL season Week 10 affair.
New Orleans snapped their three-game winning streak with an upset loss against the Tennessee Titans, 34-28, in overtime at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome last Sunday, via Yahoo Sports.
Drew Brees had a decent night, passing 28-of-39 for 387 yards, with three touchdowns, one interception, and four sacks, but their defense could not stop the Titans' returning quarterback, Marcus Mariota, who had four touchdowns with zero sacks and interceptions during the game.
Meanwhile, Washington fell to the mighty New England Patriots, 27-10, at the Gillette Stadium also last Sunday, as per USA Today.
The Redskins struggled with early turnovers that allowed the Patriots to build a 20-3 lead in the first three quarters before Kirk Cousins finally made a touchdown pass in the fourth period.
With their recent offensive struggles, it looks like Washington is headed to another disaster against the Saints, who are eager to bounce back from their disappointing defeat last week.
Prediction: Saints win, 21-10.
