The Los Angeles Rams get another shot at the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship game. But the Saints look stronger than ever. Not because they’re putting up massive numbers, but because they’re executing when they have to and taking advantage of nearly everything a defense gives them.
Drew Brees dissected the Eagles’ pass-defense (73 completion percentage) and his receivers found space between the layers of zone coverage. If the Rams defense doesn’t keep New Orleans from executing (especially on third-down), then it’s going to be a long afternoon and a long off-season.
