The hits keep coming and they just keep coming, and the New Orleans Saints are a bad day against the always-frisky Matthew Stafford and his Detroit Lions away from a 1-3 start to the 2020 season. That’s, well, far beneath just about everyone’s expectations.
It’s been rough. Drew Brees has drawn his share of the blame for limiting what the offense is capable of, but the Saints defense undid all of the good will they built up in training camp by falling flat on their faces right out of the gate.
That’s who Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar took aim at in his Week 3 NFL power rankings, blasting Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen for wasting a strong performance from Alvin Kamara and mistake-free quarterbacking from Brees.
