Here are NO's pts against weeks 3 through now.

3 Panthers 13
4 Dolphins 0
5 Lions 38
6 Packers 17
7 Bears 12
8 Buccaneers 10
9 Bills 10
By my math that is an average of 14.2. But maybe some of those points weren't scored by the opposing offense, so that's how it can be said that their defense is giving up 12.2.
14.2 is still good.
However, Bills, Bucs, Bears, Phins, Packers (without Rogers ) are not great offenses by any stretch.
The Lions scoring 38 against them sticks out in that list.
The narrative right now is that their first two games against the Vikings and Patriots, where they gave up 29 and 36, don't count anymore, because all of a sudden they fixed their defense.
That may well be. Certainly we Ram fans claim that our defense is playing better now than it did early in the season.
But it could also just be that the Saints defense can throttle poor or mediocre offenses, but gives up pretty big points to good offenses.
We'll see on that one. But first the Vikings!
Ramily!
