The Angry Who Dat @angrywhodat I had this idea in my head that the Saints defense was getting to third down a lot and not getting off the field. Anyone else?
The Angry Who Dat @angrywhodat Saints defense is actually 11th in the league at getting off the field on 1st down.
The Angry Who Dat @angrywhodat Meanwhile, they allow 1st downs on 2nd down more often than 30 other teams. They allow a 1st on 1st 28.9% of the time. 32nd, of course.
