So far they're only had average success at 4.2 yards per and 4 rushing touchdowns. The defense could see long clock eating drives all day. We could see how the defensive rotations hold up.

I think it's funny that this author speaks highly of Chicago's defensive improvement but then says the Saints D has a long way to go. Chicago's allowing 21.6 points/game and the Saints are allowing 22.2. Only 6 tenths of one point difference.
Those averages include the points allowed on offense and special teams. I saw a stat earlier (can't find it now) that had the Saints' defense allowing the 2nd fewest points in the league over the past four games to only the Jags.
