METAIRIE, La. — For nearly 20 minutes in the Saints’ win over Tampa Bay, New Orleans’ offense looked familiar.

It moved the ball at will, scoring on two 80-yard drives, one of 79 and another 72-yarder. They encompassed 31 plays and 12 minutes, 26 seconds of clock time.

The 28 points in that stretch was the longest one of the season in which the Saints (2-4) were on track and on schedule on offense.

“We’re getting there,” right tackle Zach Strief said. “I think you see every game, you see periods of it. The periods are getting longer. We’re able to sustain it a little bit. I think more than anything we’re getting some confidence. I think that that’s showing.”

Sunday against Denver (3-3) in a 7:30 p.m. nationally-televised affair, New Orleans will try to improve the offense even more.

The trend already has been there this season through six games.
