Maybe not the best but still informative to a degree

Well it aint much but after week 3 the Saints aren't the worst defense in the league.

31st in total yards given up
30th in passing yards given up
30th in points given up
24th in rushing yards given up
t-18th in passes defended
t-17th in sacks
t-15th in total take aways
t-8th in interseptions

I know it's not much but it's a million times better than after week 2. We were historically bad.

I don't care about yards given up, the only stat I think has a direct outcome is points allowed. If we bring that down, we are in business.

Extremely important stat. Few teams make the playoffs with a negative turnover ratio. A healthy plus/minus ratio often leads to post season success.

Keep grinding.
