I think the writers gave the Saints a little bit of leeway for the defense based on last year. Chalk it up to a bad game. It won't last long with the writers or any of the rest of us though. 23 missed tackles can't be the norm.

Re: The Rankings Are In

Normally we drop 2 spots in a week where we win...

Losing and dropping 1 spot?

Championship!!

PFF has corrected the number to 16.

Team - Season Total Missed Tackles
2013 77
2012 128
2011 102
2010 90
2009 90
2008 84
2007 82

Multiply the Atlanta game by 16 games and we would have 256 missed tackles... If we go off the original 23 its 368 missed tackles this season.

Even with PFF reducing their number on this pace 2014 would be > 2012+2011
