Here are five positives, and also five negatives, to take away from the New Orleans Saints' 48-40 season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday:
Buccaneers starting quarterback Jameis Winston won't be suiting up week 1 when Tampa Bay plays in New Orleans against the Saints, as the Bucs will now be starting a veteran who is prone to throw interceptions.
Expansion sports teams don't normally fare well in their inception season but the narrative got flipped on its head this season with the Vegas Golden Knights.
The New Orleans Saints fall in their season finale in Tampa Bay on a late touchdown pass by Jameis Winston. 31-24. Finish 11-5 and with the four seed in NFC.
