Offensive Line of the Week: Steelers' front keys upset of Chiefs
2) New Orleans Saints: Welcome back, Terron Armstead! Drew Brees' blind-side protector missed the first five games of the season following offseason shoulder surgery, but he returned to action in the Saints' 52-38 win over the Lions. This really solidified the pocket for Brees, who led the Saints on scoring drives in four of their first five possessions. Despite the overall wackiness of this game, New Orleans didn't allow a single sack, while yielding just one QB hit.
And actually, the Saints piled up more yards rushing (193) than passing (186). That's right: New Orleans ran wild in the game after trading away Adrian Peterson. Who'd a thunk it? Mark Ingram recorded his first 100-yard effort of the season (25 carries for 114 yards and two touchdowns), while enticing rookie Alvin Kamara added 75 yards on just 10 totes.
