On protection, the Saints look improved from their fifth-ranked system from a season , once a challenger in the AFC just a couple of seasons earlier, are currently a second thought, as the rest of their meeting has lapped them. Although they do not have the marquee quarterback that a number of their AFC equivalents have, they depend on the kind of football that Dennis Allen fantasizes regarding: Defensive focus with a free of charge operating game.
