The New Orleans Saints scored 35 unanswered points to come back after starting down 14-0. Their defensive line helped ignite that swift change.

Over the last few weeks, the Saints have held opposing running backs in check, but they haven’t done a great job at pressuring the quarterback.

One of their stronger units hasn’t been dominant, and it’s hurt their chances of winning.
