[Ernest Babin]

TheNew Orleans Saints hadn't played a game in Southern California in 12 years, when Drew Brees led the San Diego Chargers to a 43-17 beating over Aaron Brooks and his infamous backwards passing ability. As a lifelong Saints fan and a Los Angeles resident since high school, I waited a very long time to attend my first Saints game... and it was worth the wait.

The first thing to notice was the number of Saints fans in town for the game. This wasn't necessarily surprising considering the large number of New Orleans transplants living in SoCal, like my own family, but it was welcoming to see the number of people I encountered and engaged with that came from New Orleans to see the Saints on the road.

Now, I'd love to say I had photos or video of any of the final three Chargers turnovers or the Saints sacks/pressure that occurred over the game's final seven minutes, but I was not prepared for any of that to happen (obviously) and enjoying the fact that those things were happening far too much to capture them on my phone!

Outside of it being a road game, it was an ideal first Saints game to go to. The Saints have played better, much better, than this over the years, but its arguable they may have never been this determined (and lucky) over a seven minute stretch in their history. It was the antithesis of the January 2012 playoff ending, up north in San Francisco.

When the defensive line collapsed the pocket and B.W. Webb stepped up to snag Philip Rivers' 4th and long pass out of the air, the crowd ERUPTED. I leapt into the aisle and fist pumped before proceeding to high five every fleur-de-lis clad person in my vicinity. I'll shamelessly say... no... proudly say, I hugged my wife in the longest embrace possible, soaking in the moment as long as I could, barely keeping back the wave of emotion. We laughed and celebrated with tears in our eyes. I thought of my dad, who I lost over the summer. We never got to see the Saints in person, he would've loved this moment.

Yesterday, our very own Dave Cariello wrote an article titled: Saints Win Over Chargers Means Absolutely Nothing. Now, the content of the piece made complete sense, considering the argument he took, which was that the Saints are still and will continue to be a sub-.500 team, and were lucky to have even won this game. His hypothesis though, that the win itself meant nothing stands in direct opposition of everything I and the thousands of Saints fans in attendance experienced. Outnumbered and in enemy territory, our voices carried over the home crowd, even to the point of Philip Rivers' final drive feeling like his team was the one on the road.

The chants of "DE-FENSE" for the Saints defensive unit on the final drive and the deafening roar and Who Dat! chants after the Webb interception brought chills, and still do as I write this. I'm not sure if this translated at all on TV, but we had taken over by that point. I understand that in the grand scope of the 2016 Saints season, there is little hope for playoff berths or championship dreams, and it's easy to say this win meant "nothing", but when embracing loved ones and strangers alike, flooded with emotions of joy and bewilderment, it meant absolutely everything.

Simultaneously, it was absolutely nothing like I could have ever expected. Down by 13 points, with just under 7 minutes to go should certainly spell certain doom, but these Saints showed heart and resilience. I'm proud to say I was in attendance at one of the most unbelievable Saints performances of the last decade, for better and worse. It was a caterpillar of a game, It started ugly, but ended beautifully.

While these Saints are likely to be another 7-9 team, and even that might be generous, we just need to take seasons like this, moment by moment and embrace the insanity, like this past Sunday. For myself and the rest of Who Dat Nation in attendance at Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday, this stands as an unforgettable moment in time, and that moment meant everything.

Quarterback Derek Carr hit tight end Juwan Johnson with a four-yard pass for a touchdown to cap a long opening drive. The Saints used up nearly eight minutes while driving 14 plays before taking the 7-0 lead over the Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers defeated the Saints 26-9 and take first place in the NFC South. Tampa Bay achieved a balanced attack in the Big Easy, which stimulated the play-action game. Defensively, the Bucs imposed their will in the division clash, not allowing a single touchdown inside Caesars Superdome.

The Bucs and Saints then traded back-to-back punts before the flip switched in favor for Tampa Bay. Mayfield led a methodical 17-play, 87-yard drive (season-high in regard to plays) that culminated in a wide-open Cade Otton in the end zone. Another 18-yard gain for Mike Evans and a high-effort run by Rachaad White, who eluded two defenders, set up the scoring play. The Bucs' defense continued the stellar trend on the following drive as Antoine Winfield Jr. got home on a third-down blitz, ending the Saints' drive late in the second quarter. Following an interception on the ensuing drive, the Bucs' defense made a critical play. Winfield Jr. forced a fumble and recovered it at the New Orleans 6-yard line, putting Mayfield and company back on the field. The team capitalized, as Mayfield found rookie Trey Palmer in the back corner of the end zone. He leapt into the air and high-pointed the ball over Isaac Yiadom's head, extending the Bucs' lead, 14-3, at the half. Heading into the intermission, Tampa Bay held a 206-98-yard advantage over the home team.

On the Saints' following drive, Winfield Jr. became the catalyst. He outpaced Kamara to the sideline and dropped him in the flat for a loss of six yards, bringing up second-and-long. On third down, Winfield broke up a deep pass downfield intended for Chris Olave, which forced a punt. He was behind the line of scrimmage and the very next play; Winfield was in the end zone, disrupting a potential touchdown to Olave. The rangy safety imposed his will from sideline-to-sideline. Tampa Bay's offense stalled and at the end of the third quarter, Lavonte David and Christian Izien brought down Kamara on third down, forcing a Saints' 32-yard field goal. On the subsequent drive for Tampa Bay, despite a 32-yard gain by Chris Godwin on a crossing route, the Bucs were forced to settle for three. Chase McLaughlin drilled a 51-yarder, making it a 17-6 game early in the fourth.

Four-straight screen passes to Kamara for a gain of only 11 yards, including a drop on third down, resulted in a Grupe 44-yard field goal, bringing the Saints within one score. With under four minutes in regulation, Deven Thompkins' impressive outing continued. He secured a catch in the end zone, extending and laying out his body for the 5-yard score. Thompkins' body was parallel to the field on the highlight-reel grab, icing the victory for Tampa Bay inside enemy territory. A Vita Vea strip sack led to a McLaughlin 28-yard field goal, putting an exclamation mark on the win.
