Saints win, but not in: The Saints notched an improbable victory against the league-leading Eagles, but in terms of the post season, it didn't matter because of ... Tom Brady (mostly). Minutes after the Saints beat the Eagles 20-10, the Buccaneers' QB led yet another comeback, this time over the Carolina Panthers, claiming the NFC South title. There was still an outside chance the Saints could make the playoffs, but the Packers took care of that by beating the Vikings a few hours later. Columnist Jeff Duncan says these were the Saints we thought we'd be seeing all season. Columnist Rod Walker takes a look at how Cam Jordan came to be the Saints' all-time sack leader.
Flaws in facial recognition: Law enforcement in Jefferson and East Baton Rouge parishes used facial recognition technology to arrest a Georgia man for a string of thefts in Metairie. The problem? He'd never even been to Louisiana. John Simerman has the story of how the increasingly common crime fighting tool can get it wrong.
Weather wrap up: Louisiana saw tornados, drought, heavy rainfall events and a frozen Christmas season, but 2022 was most notable for what didn't happen. You may have already guessed what it is, but Mark Schleifstein has the answer here.
