The Saints took a big hit to their pride last Sunday with their second straight loss to the Packers, but it isn’t all doom & gloom in New Orleans. On a a shiny new contract, Alvin Kamara put up big yardage on limited carries, and he was equally effective in the passing game.
The Saints’ running offense will have a chance to shine against the Lions’ run defense. The Lions are 30th in the league against the run, giving up a whopping 172.3 yards per game. If the Saints give up on the run as they have in the past two weeks, it will be a fundamental failure of playcalling.
