Not trying to go back and forth on this all day but the defense was not some great unit. They weren't very good at all.



I'm not saying they are a great unit. I'm saying that they are a young unit that improved tremendously throughout the year, started forcing turnovers, and complemented their explosive offense well. Similar to the 2009 Saints D who weren't good on paper, but

quote:

Were still moving the ball all game. And still at the end of the day gave up 32 points and 470 yards.


Going into the 4th, the Saints had 220 yards and 13 points. The Saints went without scoring from 3:40 in the 2nd until 12:41 in the 4th. The Saints scored a TD with ~1 minute left in the 1st quarter, and didn't score another one until under 12 minutes were left in the 4th quarter. The next drive, Atlanta picked the ball off.

The Saints put up more yards and points in the 4th (down 25 funny enough), than they did in the first 3 quarters.
