That's 37.43 points per game.
All the injuries have really added up but it's far from our only problem. Take away the pick 6 last night and the defense was simply average to what they have been over the last seasons worth of home games.
The Chiefs over the same stretch? They've allowed 95 points. The difference between the Saints and Chiefs defense is 167 points or 23.86 points per game. That 23.86 points per game difference is just dumb.
23.86 points per game is how many more points we've been giving up per game MORE than the Chiefs. That 23.86 points per game is more than 20 teams offenses averaged per game last season.
So, if you were wondering just how far we are from a top tier defense. Only that much.
