2020 is finally coming to a close...Hank Brady and I look back at the good, the bad, the ugly, and the unexplainable events of the past year from the world of sports and the world at large. Take the ride with us as we head into 2021.

After an offensive explosion, led by Alvin Kamara's historic 6 TD performance, against the hated Minnesota Vikings, the Saints head into week 17 with a few questions left unanswered. Where will they be seeded in the NFC playoffs? How does Kwon Alexander's season-ending injury change the defense? Will the receiving corps be ready to go in the postseason? Ross Jackson and I discuss those topics as well as Monday night's misguided commentary from Booger McFarland.

After two straight losses, the New Orleans Saints have given themselves no room for error as the regular season comes to a close. Ross Jackson and I review the loss to Kansas City, and find the silver lining as well as the lingering issues for the Black & Gold. Is a visit by the Vikings on Christmas Day a gift, or something fans will want to return after opening?

On this week's edition of "The Dome Patrol" with Ross Jackson, we discuss the end of the Saints' nine-game win streak at the talons of the Philadelphia Eagles. Now they have to regroup in all three phases before hosting the defending champs from KC this Sunday. What adjustments can you expect and where do the Saints try to attack the Chiefs? And, did this loss make the road to the Super Bowl more difficult or too difficult?
