re: Sunday's key to the game

This game scares me just because of their ability to stop the run. If the Saints get off to a slow start on offense they could be in trouble. Special teams will be a key element in the field position battle. Covering kicks versus Patrick Peterson will be vital. The biggest thing to me in this game is going to be the mental mistakes. A few of the red zone problems have been due to penalties. It's going to take a complete team effort and the offense needs to have balance.

Another interesting fact:
Saints have rushed the ball off tackle more this year than last year, but have been less effective.
the Saints have gone from rushing off tackle 20% last season to 29% this season. In 2012 they averaged 6.9 YPC on those runs a majority of them coming from Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory. This season they have rushed for 1.7 YPC with Mark Ingram getting majority of the carries.
The running game needs to get going to establish more balance, ultimatley it will make the offensive line and the passing game better.
