impressive

The consecutive game streak without 100 yd runner is ending. I've seen enough football to know that as soon as the media talks about it, it ends. "This kicker hasn't missed in 32 tries", Shank!

I know it's outside the 10 year period, but the 2000 Ravens D allowed only 2.68 yard per carry. That defense was so awesome.

Please don't ruin my opinions with facts, gentlemen.

Saints last 4 games on 67 carries have allowed a meager 190 yards. Thats plain nasty at 2.83 yards a carry.

Longest Streaks Without Allowing a 100-Yard Rusher (Through 2020)

You may have heard that the New Orleans Saints have now gone 45 straight games without allowing a 100-yard rusher. That’s very impressive: it includes 40 straight regular season games since Samaje Perine of Washington rushed 23 times for 117 yards in an overtime loss when Kirk Cousins was still...

The all time record is 59 by the 1956 Browns. The modern record is 53 By the Reggie White/ Jerome Brown Eagles in 1992.
We are currently at 53 games/ If the record falls next week, we are still in elite company.

Yea... From the perspective of who else is on the list, this is underwhelming. Interesting that it's underwhelming though.

those Eagle defenses were the only thing close to the Saints Defense during that time. It was usually them #1 and us 2 or visa versa. Not to take anything away from what our guys are doing now but it isn't quit the same. Most backs didn't split time back then and way more offenses were 2/3 run to 1/3 pass. What our guys have done the last few years is outstanding nonetheless.

Could it be possible ... the coordinator of this ferocious defense ... Dennis Allen ... gets a head coaching job based on these merits?

The thread title is wrong "the past ten seasons " when that list has 2 teams for the same year multiple times

I don't see it. Not even close.

But if we go on to win the Super Bowl and it has a lot to do with the defense, then yes.
