Through three weeks, the New Orleans Saints defense has been operating at two extreme ends of the spectrum.
When it comes to stopping the run, the Saints have been one of the stingiest units in the NFL at this early juncture, allowing an NFL-best 3.05 yards per carry and ranking No. 6 in the NFL in run defense.
But while teams have not been able to move the ball on the ground against the Saints, they have done so with ridiculous efficiency through the air. The Saints rank 29th in the NFL in pass defense despite the fact they have had the fourth fewest throws attempted against them (93).
