Pro Football Focus Notebook

Here's how Pro Football Focus graded the Saints in their win over Los Angeles:
Coby Fleener received his fewest snaps of the season. He was on the field for only 18 plays versus 57 for Hill, who had easily his best game. His six targets and six catches were career highs. Hill also stood out in the run game, making multiple key blocks on Ogletree and Barron.
A rough day for the interior offensive line against Donald and the rest of the Rams' front. Center Max Unger and guards Evans and Peat each graded negatively in pass protection and run blocking. The trio allowed nine combined pressures and multiple run stops.
Conversely, the Saints held up well at tackle. Strief and Armstead each had one negatively graded snap in pass protection, although Armstead only lasted 50 snaps against the Rams. Through 12 weeks, Strief's overall grade (87.0) ranks third among right tackles and ninth among all tackles.
Ingram broke a season-high seven tackles rushing and gained an average of 4.9 yards after contact on 14 carries.
Brees finished with a 146.4 passer rating when throwing from a clean pocket versus 92.0 under pressure (36.8 percent of his dropbacks). He was perfect on passes aimed behind or within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage, while missing only three of his 10 attempts that travelled more than 10 yards in the air.
The Saints' defense missed only three tackles against the Rams, while the offense forced 14 misses.
Safety Kenny Vaccaro finished with a season-high grade (83.4), in part due to his third quarter interception and a team-high four defensive stops. He spent 33 snaps aligned in the slot or at outside corner.
The Saints' pass rush generated pressure on 51 percent of Jared Goff's dropbacks, the highest rate of any defense in Week 12 through Sunday's games. Goff completed only 53.3 percent of his passes on those plays, versus 70.6 percent without pressure.
Defensive end Cam Jordan was the Saints' highest-graded defender once again, converting 33 rushes into six pressures and picking up two stops in the run game. He spent all but two snaps lined up on the defensive left side, opposite right tackle Rob Havenstein and right guard Cody Wichmann.
Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins bounced back from two below-average games in Weeks 10 and 11 with a slightly above-average display against the Rams (72.2 overall). He compiled just one pressure in 28 pass rushes, but that was a second-quarter sack-forced fumble, and he also made several positive plays against guard Jamon Brown in run defense.
