We need not just turnovers from the defense but POINTS from the defense as well. We can't rely on the offense to get it done. We need pick 6's or fumbles returned for TDs, like the one Seattle had against us, if we want to be a playoff team. If the offense keeps up with the 3 and outs, and puts up only 7 points like it did the other night, and we score 21.2 average on the road, for instance 20 against the Jets, that is not enough to get it done against a quality team. (The Saints average 33.2 ppg at home but that is just two of their remaining games.) The Rams average well above 23 points per game, 24 at home, so just our current O alone by itself, will be stretched to get it done. And that's just the lowly Rams. The Saints will absolutely need to pick up scores from the defense and special teams, in order to beat a good team on the road. The Saints offense on the road is comparable to an average 8-8, 7-9 team, in terms of comparing points per game.
