The New Orleans Saints reached a special level of bas in Sunday's 23-22 road loss to the Carolina Panthers. The team was considered to be one of the worst -- if not the worst in the NFL -- when the Saints headed over to Charlotte.

Now, it looks more than anything like that's a title the Saints may hold themselves, running pretty closely in contention with the Tennessee Titans, New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys.

Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan took to social media after the game with a message for the Saints fan base, which everyone has recognized deserves a far better product at this point.

"We just lost to the Panthers," Jordan wrote. "I love y'all New Orleans truly had higher expectations and the best of hopes for us, y'all deserve it."

Jordan finished out the game with one solo tackle to his name.

The Saints are now on a dismal seven-game losing streak with a lot that needs to happen in order for them to at least get another win in what is already a lost season.

That opportunity won't come easy against their next opponent on the schedule either, as the Atlanta Falcons will look to sweep New Orleans in the series in Caesars Superdome on Sunday, Nov. 10.
