You could've even looked at the standings last week and maybe made this claim, but that isn't the case any longer. St. Louis has won eight straight games after taking down the Washington Nationals on Sunday. The Cardinals lost their first game against the New York Mets on May 2nd and haven't lost since.

The Saints now have three quarterbacks left on the roster in Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and and Jake Haener.
