The Saints had a lot of us worried with a couple of turnovers in the first half and what seemed to be a less than professional defensive effort.
Well the post season is upon us. The New Orleans Saints finishing the 2011 regular season campaign with a 13-3 record. Detroit finished 10-6 and are in the postseason for the first season since 1999. The game is a rematch of the December 4 meeting that went the way of the Saints 31-17.

The 8-3 New Orleans Saints host the 7-4 Detroit Lions in a second straight nationally televised game Sunday night. The game yet another important one in a string of key games for the Saints in terms of the NFC Playoff picture. The Saints currently hold the 3rd seed, a game out of the 2nd seed held by 9-2 San Francisco. Detroit currently is on the outside looking in and reeling, as the 7th seed losing out in a tie-breaker with Atlanta who beat the Lions earlier in the season.
