For a unit that's been at the top of it's game this season, Monday night was certainly a humbling experience.

The New Orleans Saints defense allowed its highest point total of the season in a 34-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks had 429 yards of offense, the second highest total of the season.

And even allowing only seven points in the second half didn't provide a shred of solace to Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins.

"Once they scored on the second drive of the half, I think their team changed their mentality," Jenkins said. "They focused on running the ball and running the clock because they ran a bunch of 21 and 22 personnel, big heavy fit personnel and they were just running the ball. I think we played well against the run, I think we played well against (Marshawn) Lynch but we dug ourselves in too big a hole to climb out."

Throw out the Wilson tape and bring out the Kaepernick tape. Cam is a better ran than both though. We need to make him throw the ball often.

Put a spy on Newton if you have too. Just contain him.

Carolina's Cam Newton went 18 of 29 for 263 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions against the Bucs. He ran for another, but was displeased with the picks after throwing four in his previous seven games.

The team has turned the ball over seven times in the last eight games and is one of five teams with a plus-10 turnover margin or better.

"We don't want to get accustomed to the careless mistakes, but we're just going to have games like this," Newton said. "We know that we're going to have to minimize these turnovers."

That's especially true against New Orleans, which has given the ball away 14 times, among the lowest totals in the league.
