Jairus Byrd gets long-overdue Saints interception under Dennis Allen

Unfortunately, Jairus Byrd‘s first interception since joining the New Orleans Saints in 2014 wasn’t a game changer because the offense couldn’t capitalize off the turnover. However, it is nice to finally see the injury-riddled safety making plays after missing 12 games a year ago and the first three in 2015.

After surrendering an early 14-point lead to the Houston Texans, Jairus Byrd and the newly-led Dennis Allen defense began to find a groove. Thanks to a disastrous performance by the offense, the Saints’ defense couldn’t get off the field, making it seem much worse than it actually was.
