Best they've been against the run in a long time.

Still being one dimensional isn't that big of a deal if you can still produce. Producing gets harder when you are one dimensional but isn't impossible.
More telling is the fact the Falcons redzone efficency was 50% while the Saints were 66%.

Baby steps.

Nobody's shut down the falcons this year. I didn't expect this defense to be the first to do it.

This is the best the Saints D has played the run the this season. No rushes for over 20 yards and only one over 10 yards. Not being able to run the ball kills red zone efficiencies and third down conversion rates.
