If we don't win like that we don't win. No biggie.  Inter-conference games are the least valuable ones as far as tie breakers go.

But if by some chance we are tied with the Texans at the end of the year, they beat the Saints, doesn't that play a role in tie breakers?

If we're tied with them at the end of the year and we lose to the Saints and they've beaten them, head to head with the tinhorns is the first tie breaker, then divisional record, then winning percentage against common opponents which the Saints would be a common opponent, but if our records are tied we may have beaten someone else that they lost to as 14 of our 17 games will be against the same opponents.  This can easily get into the weeds and I doubt we find ourselves worrying about this at the end of the year.   

For wild card tie breakers, conference record comes before winning percentage against common opponents.  If you want to over simplify tie breakers, I like to think of it like this:  Division games are worth 1.25, non-divisional AFC games are worth 1.00 and NFC games are worth .75.
