ESPN: Best of the NFC South Match up details

Saintswrath · 11-10-2011, 05:47 AM

The two best teams in the NFC South meet on Sunday when the Atlanta Falcons host the New Orleans Saints.

We’ll see strength on strength in many areas, but the best matchup of all might be the left side of the Saints’ offensive line against the right side of Atlanta’s defensive line.

ESPN Stats & Information shared some great numbers that demonstrate just how strong both areas are. When running to the left, New Orleans’ Darren Sproles is averaging 8.1 yards per carry and Pierre Thomas is averaging 7.2 yards. They rank second and third in the league among running backs with at least 10 rushes in that direction.
