And yet the last 12 times a team went for a 3 win sweep against division rivals they have done it 75% of the time:

"Over the past 25 years, a total of 12 teams have gone for the three-game sweep and they've gone 9-3 in those games."
Not saying the Saints are going to win, just saying this narrative that it is hard to do just hasn't been all that accurate.
Oh, good point. Plus, we did that in 2009 to Philly.
