You are reading correctly. The Saints defense is 3rd overall in total yards given up per game, 12th in passing yards per game, and 2nd in rushing yards per game.

That doesn't sound like the crappy defense that some around here were claiming.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Defense is #1 in penalty yards. 456
Offense is 4th lowest at 125

Add the penalties to the yardage allowed ad we are 19th in yards per game allowed, and 17th in points allowed .

Keep in mind teams come together at certain times... right now is when we want out team to come together for the play offs.

Was this the game where DA dials back the playbook so our players can play faster? We had good coverage in the secondary last night and almost no flags to extend drives. Things are looking up folks!

T-Rex has earned a nice second contract through hard work. I don't know if it will be with us but I hope so. I love a guy with a non stop motor that never stops hustling.
