Saints, Bills share a troubling trend ahead of Week 3 showdown

The New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills are two of the worst defenses in the NFL when it comes to getting off the field. Teams have converted 45.9 percent of their third down attempts against the Saints. That is the sixth worst rate in the NFL.

The Bills aren't much better. They find themselves in the bottom 10 in the league as well. Their defense has allowed a 43.9 percent conversion rate is the tenth worst. This may come down to who is able to fix their third down woes.

What makes Buffalo's standing so fascinating is the Jets had 11 third down attempts in their Week 2 showdown against the Bills and converted none of them.
