Malcolm Jenkins was one of the highest-graded New Orleans Saints players in Monday night’s big win over the Los Angeles Chargers; Pro Football Focus credited him with 3 quarterback pressures, 2 stops in run defense, and just 7 yards allowed in coverage. The first-year captain has been an important source of splash plays and veteran leadership on a defense that’s badly needed both.
But the big storyline this week has been the one-game suspension for star wide receiver Michael Thomas, which Jenkins discussed on the “Tiki and Tierney Show” on CBS Sports Radio.
