Why Saints starting fast more important than ever vs Browns
The New Orleans Saints are one of, scratch that, the worst team at starting games in the league offensively. Luckily for them, the Browns are equally as inept at starting games defensively. However, they do get much more stout after the first 15 minutes, so Tyler Shough, Kellen Moore and the Saints offense have to be on point in the first quarter.
The inability to generate, not just consistent but, any offense in the first quarter has been a frustratingly consistent part of the Saints' DNA this year. They've scored once in the first quarter, a touchdown and missed the extra point versus the Raiders. Luckily for the Saints, this is an opportunity to fix that flaw, even if it's just for a week.
