Another NFL team just took this ignominious title from the Saints
There was one good thing that came out of Week 8 for the New Orleans Saints, and it happened far away from Los Angeles. The Saints no longer hold the honor of allowing the most points in a single game this year.
New Orleans allowed 51 points to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was an ugly game that feels like the kick-starter for the current temperament in town, despite not being the beginning of the losing streak.
Dennis Allen and Mickey Loomis can send a thank-you card to Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions. Detroit absolutely demolished the Tennessee Titans and hung 52 points on the board. It's just a one-point difference, but the Saints are off the hook, at least in this stat. They won't be remembered for allowing the most points in a single game this year.
There are still 10 weeks left in the season, and someone could go higher than 53. Two teams scored 60 or more points last year, but the most important thing is that someone has surpassed 51.
