The New Orleans Saints beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons in the final two games of the season to keep their playoff hopes alive, but they need help from others in Week 18.
The 9-8 Saints thumped the Atlanta Falcons at the Superdone on Sunday to keep their slim hopes of a postseason run alive.
New Orleans would alread be in the playoffs if the Carolina Panthers had beaten the Buccaneers, but the Bucs won a touchdownless game 9-0 to clinch the division.
The only route left for the Saints depends on the results in the late window.
New Orleans will reach the playoffs if the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks taste defeat in Week 18 against the Chicago Bears and Arizona Cardinals respectively.
