November 17, 2017. 44 games. Samaje Perine.
That was the last time the Saints allowed a 100-yard rusher, during the Saints memorable comeback win against the Washington Football Team. Since then, the Saints have faced a myriad of impressive running backs, the likes of Ezekiel Elliott, Todd Gurley when he still had knees, and Christian McCaffrey four times. Every single one of them has been held to under 100 yards, and the Saints run defense will have another tough test this Monday night when they face the Raiders’ second-year back Josh Jacobs.
