In the tenth and eleventh week of the regular season, the Green Bay Packers defeated the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears two arch rivals in the same zone with absolutely strong attitude. The team's record reached five wins and five losses in one fell swoop, with a winning rate of just 50%.

More importantly, the Green Bay Packers are back in the ranks of fighting for the playoffs.

This week, the Minnesota Vikings lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers away, while the Chicago Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers. As a result, the three teams in the North of the National League have all achieved five wins and five losses, and they are hard to tell.

Now, there are the last six weeks left in the regular season - literally - the winners and losses of each game may change the pattern of the NFC North District and thus affect the pattern of the playoffs. Each game in the next game is a strong confrontation, and it depends on which team will fall behind first.

In the 12th week of the regular season, the Minnesota Vikings vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Chicago Bears vs. St. Louis Rams. Both teams have relatively weak opponents, which is a game that must be won; the Green Bay Packers will go away to challenge the New Orleans Saints, which is another hard battle.

In terms of schedule difficulty, the Green Bay Packers are undoubtedly the most serious situation, because the leader of the New Orleans Saints is Drew Brees, one of the four elite quarterbacks.

Facts also proved such speculation. When the game ended, the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears both defeated their relatively weak opponents and maintained a strong momentum of progressing together. The regular season record reached six wins and five losses, while the Green Bay Packers faced severe tests away.

This is also the quarterback who has been following Payton Manning, who led Rodgers to face the second top quarterback, with the ability to change the situation with his own strength.

The New Orleans Saints, founded in 1966, are not a team with a long history, but in just half a century of history, this team has had a tragic life. Just like the team's name "Saints", on the road of pilgrimage, they have experienced countless thorns and suffered from vicissitudes of life.

In 1970, the Saints officially joined the NFL. In the first year draft, they selected the University of Mississippi quarterback Archie Manning with the second pick.

At that time, no one knew that the Manning family would become an indispensable part of the history of the rugby professional league. Archie Manning's second son Payton Manning and third son Eli Manning both became an important page in the history of the league, writing their own legend.

In addition, Archie Manning's eldest son Cooper Manning was a celebrity wide receiver in high school. Unfortunately, he was forced to give up football due to the congenital disease of spinal cord stenosis. Later, Payton Manning carried his brother's No. 18 jersey and continued the two of them's rugby dreams.

Under Archie Manning, the New Orleans Saints embarked on their long and arduous professional league journey.

After the team was established, in order to achieve better results and improve the team's competitiveness, many coaches were replaced, including the top coaches in the Zongheng League, but the results still did not improve, floating and ups and downs.

From 1971 to 1985, they had a winning rate of more than 50% in just one season and had never entered the playoffs. In 1978, they achieved the worst record after the league's regular season expansion to 16 games, with one win and fifteen losses, until this year - the Detroit Lions are still hard to win, and they are very hopeful to set a new record.

The long trough seems to see no light at all.

In 1985, Tom Benson, a car sales tycoon, bought the team, and in 1986, hired former Chicago Bears team managers JIm-Finks and Jim-Mora, which also became an important turning point in the history of the Saints.

In 1987, after 20 years of founding the team and 17 years after joining the league, they made their first historic move to the playoffs.

Under the leadership of two Jim, the Saints ushered in the first peak period in the team's history. In 1990, 1991, and 1992, they entered the playoffs for three consecutive years, including the first division championship since entering the league in 1991, but with the death of team manager Finks due to lung cancer, the team once again slipped into the abyss.

From 1993 to 2006, they entered the playoffs only once in 2000.

In 2005, New Orleans encountered Hurricane Katrina, and the whole city was devastated. It not only destroyed the lives of countless people, but also destroyed the hope of the Saints' rise. Even because the stadium was severely damaged, they had to go to different stadiums to hold home games and were displaced.

The Saints, who have never really stood at the top, are always wandering, always struggling, and always suffering from pain.

In 2006, the Saints, who returned to New Orleans, won the respect of the city. Even at the most dangerous time, the team never gave up and never left. Now, the city needs them to come back, awaken people's hope, and start a long reconstruction work after the disaster.

This year became the beginning of the Saints' second glorious era.

Sean Payton, the former Dallas Cowboys assistant coach, took office, and at Payton's insistence, they made the biggest gamble in the team's history on the free market-

Signed San Diego Lightning quarterback Drew Brees.

At that time, Brees was troubled by a shoulder injury and was unable to fully recover from the operation. The Chargers did not offer a high-priced contract extension, so Brees entered the free market, and the Saints completed this bold and risky deal with a six-year and 60 million contract. In the same year, they also completed at least three important key drafts in the draft and built the team's cornerstone.

It can be said that Sean Payton made Drew Brees, or it can be said that Drew Brees made Sean Payton.

In Payton's hands, Brees received real attention. His precise passing accuracy and defensive prediction ability are top-notch, and he has a new vitality.

In 2007, he passed the ball in a single season for 5,000 yards, which was the second quarterback to reach such a height after legendary quarterback Dan Marino.

Brees' passing accuracy is unique in martial arts. In 2009, 2011, 2016, 2017, 2018, the passing success rate in 2019 all exceeded 70%, which is also the only one in the league's long history; the passing yards record in a single season is also included in his name.

Sean Payton's wisdom collides with Drew Brees' precision, exerting infinite power, which is quite meaningful to the combination of Bill Billycheck and Tom Brady.
