Improving Defense

Another tough divisional game. The roster is getting ripped. Keep going Saints. Win today please.

if we only give up 88 yards rushing, who cares that 50 was on one play
Let's talk about an IMPORTANT defensive stat: 15.5 Point-per-game-alllowed vs. two division foes.
Oh yeah, 7 of those were actually defensive. Make that 12.0 PPGA

Well defense help win it again. If Offense would have played the whole game like they did the last drive Saints would have had a blow out against the Bucs. Lesson learned now fix it and let's move on.

Defense didn't help win it. The defense did win it.

Getting better one game at a time.

If you had told me in preseason the offense would be this out-of-sync in the first two games, I would've said we'd be 0-2.

Considering the injuries and the kind of offensive talent they've had to play against, allowing 12 PPG is an amazing start.

Also, if you like stats:

10th in yards allowed
6th in points allowed
4th in 1st downs allowed
9th in 3rd down percentage
5th in turnovers forced
