Defense the Difference in New Orleans, Denver
Two teams that have struggled on defense in years past are making a statement so far this season and it currently has both teams undefeated. These two teams are being led by new defensive coordinators. In addition to that they both signed veteran free agent safeties in the off-season that have done more than their share through five weeks. The fans at the Superdome and INVESCO Field could not be happier.
The New Orleans Saints the last few seasons have had one of the better offenses in the league and their defense held them back. Enter Gregg Williams and Darren Sharper. By implementing Williams’ aggressive style, the Saints are 7th in the league in points per game against, 7th in the league in rushing defense and 11th in passing defense per game. Those numbers are unheard of in New Orleans over the last few seasons.
