New Orleans Saints — Performances of Note

Junior Galette and Cameron Jordan, DEs: +6.6 combined

Breakdown: The defensive duo wreaked havoc against the Vikings’ offensive line, with much of it coming at Matt Kalil and Phil Loadholt’s expense. Galette had the more impressive display, racking up eight pressures on 24 pass rushes for a +4.5 pass rush grade. Galette’s 27.2 Pass Rush Productivity is the highest single game PRP for an edge rusher this season. Jordan’s day wasn’t quite as impressive, but he was still able to pressure the quarterback on four occasions.

Signature Plays: On the second play of the second quarter, Galette gives Matt Kalil an inside swim move to beat him almost immediately and continues on for a hit against Cassel. For Jordan, he pushes Charlie Johnson aside with 10:00 remaining the in fourth quarter to pick up the quick sack on Bridgewater.

Curtis Lofton, LB: +3.6

Breakdown: Curtis Lofton was all over the field on Sunday, especially in run defense. He picked up five run stops on just 18 run plays and added two more stops in pass defense. His +3.4 run defense grade was the highest of his entire career.

Signature Stat: Lofton had a 27.8 Run Stop Percentage, the second-highest for an inside linebacker this season.

Drew Brees, QB: +1.6

Breakdown: While Brees had a good showing, it was not nearly as positive as it could have been. He uncharacteristically made a few poor decisions, forcing three passes into Harrison Smith’s coverage for pass defenses, at least one of which could have been an interception. Outside of those three passes though, he was on target with nearly every other throw, finishing with an 85.3 Accuracy Percentage overall.

Signature Stat: There was a stark difference between Brees’s dropbacks when under pressure and with no pressure. He was accurate on 92.3% of his passes with no pressure for a +4.5 pass grade, compared to 55.6% and a -1.9 grade when pressured.

PFF Game Ball

The game ball goes to Junior Galette, who made things difficult for the Vikings’ offensive line and quarterbacks throughout the game.
