New Orleans Saints Power Rankings - 2013
| Power Rankings | ||||
| WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENT | |
| Week 5 | 4-0 | 3 | On throws deeper than 10 yards downfield, nobody has more catches (14), yards (346) or touchdowns (four) than Jimmy Graham. Chicago gets the next shot at stopping him. Good luck. | |
| Week 4 | 3-0 | 3 | The Saints' defense has held all three opponents this season to 17 points or fewer. New Orleans allowed 17 points or fewer in three games all last season. | |
| Week 3 | 2-0 | 8 | Jimmy Graham posted or tied career highs with 10 catches on 16 targets for 179 yards and seven first downs Sunday. Graham is the only TE with at least 20 targets. | |
| Week 2 | 1-0 | 8 | Matt Ryan was sacked three times in 15 drop-backs against at least five rushers in Week 1. Ryan wasn't sacked on 31 such drop-backs last year against New Orleans. | |
| Week 1 | 7-9 | 13 | Rob Ryan wants to bring the blitz back to New Orleans. The Saints sent added pressure on half of drop-backs from 2009-11, most in the league. | |
| Preseason | 7-9 | 14 | Sean Payton's return to the sideline apparently hasn't convinced all of our voters that a playoff run awaits. (Sando) | |
