![]() ![]() This is the Saints’ turnover margin after 11 games this season. ![]() The 13 Saints players are listed below (number of touchdowns in parenthesis): 13: A lucky number, as this is how many different Saints players have caught a touchdown pass from Drew Brees so far this season, which ties the NFL record in a single season established by Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan in 2016.News flash: if the defense continues to allow less than 20 points a game, New Orleans may not lose another game this season. ![]() In their first three games, the Saints gave up an average of 34.3 points per game, and the most points they allowed during their 10-game winning streak is 35 to the potent Los Angeles Rams. 19.1: The average number of points allowed by the Saints’ defense in the team’s last eight games.In the 13 years of the Brees/Payton era, the Saints are 18-8 against the Falcons, ever narrowing the gap in the all-time series, which now stands at just four games. In a series that started in 1967, New Orleans is now 48-52 all-time against Falcons, playoffs and regular season combined. 48: The New Orleans Saints’ number of wins in 100 games against the Atlanta Falcons.Complacency has no place on a team chasing greatness and a championship. Furthermore, head coach Sean Payton can now use this so-so output to further emphasize to the team that performances as flawless as the ones they had displayed in their three games prior to yesterday cannot be taken for granted. So why do I feel good about it? New Orleans’ running game picked up the slack, as The Saints rushed 31 times for 150 yards, and a healthy 4.8 yards-per-rush.I mean Thomas Morstead actually got on the field to do the job he is getting paid to do. Playing their second game in four days and coming off a late game on Sunday, the Saints’ offense was bound to look somewhat sloppy: quarterback Drew Brees threw his second interception of the year (Oh No!!!), was sacked once (Oh My God!!!) and completed only 15 of 22 passes for under 200 yards (No Way!!!). But guess what? I feel good about the offensive performance last night.Yet, a lot of the comments I saw from Saints fans last night lamented the fact that the offense wasn’t its usual deadly-efficient self, leaving quite a few points on the field. Yesterday in a pivotal game to stay with the Los Angeles Rams (10-1) in the race for the NFC regular season crown, New Orleans (10-1) found enough energy to defeat the Atlanta Falcons (4-7) 31-17 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Saints fans are a little bit spoiled with the Saints offense, and I am not sure if I can completely blame them.So, sit back, take a bite and a sip while your brain slowly wakes up, and let’s catch up on some football.
