New Orleans Saints need to get out of the gate quicker

The New Orleans Saints are the best frontrunners in the NFL. No team plays better with a lead. When the Saints score early and mount an advantage, it enhances their already formidable strengths. They become emboldened, like a gambler with house money, and everything in their arsenal becomes more dangerous. Blowouts often commence.

The Saints' model for success is built on this formula. When the Saints build a lead, opponents are forced to pass more often while trying to catch-up. This plays right into the strength of the Saints' attacking, undersized defense. It also limits the exposure of their shaky run defense.

Conversely, playing from ahead alleviates the pressure on the Saints' inconsistent pass protection because it allows them to run the ball more often.

It all works hand in hand, complementary football, as Saints coach Sean Payton likes to say.
