The New Orleans Saints had themselves a statement game against the Detroit Lions in Week 6. They controlled the line of scrimmage on both offense and defense. And Terron Armstead was back.
The offensive line play was particularly dominant. The Saints rushed for 193 yards on 37 attempts, good for 5.2 yards per carry.The pass protection was solid as well. They kept QB Drew Brees upright for the most part and didn’t surrender a single sack.
Part of the line’s strong performance can be attributed to the timely return of star left tackle Terron Armstead.
