The Seattle Seahawks are riding momentum into a winnable matchup against the winless New Orleans Saints this week. Most analysts are going to pick Seattle to win this game, as they rightfully should.
Of course, the "any given Sunday" cliche didn’t spring up out of nowhere. The Saints employ 53 professional football players, too, and it may come as a bit of a surprise that New Orleans is playing a bit better than their record would indicate.
One area where New Orleans is nearly on par with Seattle is in preventing explosive plays. The NFL’s lifeblood is explosive plays of 15 or more yards.
