Here are our six takeaways from the New Orleans Saints’ season so far at the Week 12 bye. What to make of a 4-7 team hitting its stride?

The New Orleans Saints get to rest during Week 12, as they enjoy their bye week. After 11 games, they sit in an unfortunately familiar place. New Orleans is currently 4-7. They have alternated between 4-7 and 5-6 for the last four seasons.

The Saints should get some reinforcements back after their bye, but will still be without a few key contributors.
