In the Saints matchup with the Texans on Monday Night Football, the team was playing behind for the majority of the game. Their first lead came five seconds into the fourth quarter. A major reason for this deficit throughout the contest was the Saints secondary. However, the pass rush looked strong throughout.
It began early, the team picking up two sacks in the first quarter alone. Malcom Brown and Shy Tuttle recorded a half-sack each during a third and long after Deshaun Watson was moved out of the pocket because of a Cameron Jordan chase-down.
