Kellen Moore might've known what he was doing bringing in Brandon Staley, because the New Orleans Saints defense hasn't been this good in a while. Limiting their last opponent to just six points, the defense has been miles better compared to last year.
The Saints defense was ranked 30th in total defense in 2024, allowing 379.9 yards a game a year ago. They now sit just inside the top ten in the league, ranking ninth in the same category with 303.5 yards allowed per game. Furthermore, they're also in the top half of the league in terms of points allowed per game with 22.
