The Saints have quietly developed the best defensive line in football. They can stop the run, get pressure without blitzing, and all 4 starters are capable of drawing double teams.

They've been doing it against some of the best competition in the NFL. It's going to get crazy once they start playing the lesser teams if they can keep it going.

Yeah not needing to blitz is such a luxury. And It feels like when we do bring the blitz, it always gets home

I think the blitzing part is a function of how well the front 4 are playing. Offensive lines are straining just to block those four. Adding a blitzer or two is breaking the dam.

Only 17 yards rushing for Chicago. That's crazy!

Trubisky only had 80 passing yards until those last two drives.

I'm worried about what happened after those 80 yards passing + anything can happen if you give the opponent the chance. This team is a playoff team, even before the season started this season. Not closing out games & having metal lapses will lose a playoff games (like it did last year).

Not when you built a 26 point lead and there is less than 4 minutes to play.

Against mainly backups. The starters held them to under 100 yards of total offense.
I don’t care who you’re playing that’s impressive.

The Bears had 11-yards rushing in the first half and a very pale 6-yards in the second half. The Biscuit threw 54 times, I don't think he is built for that.

I'm a little disappointed that we allowed that 10-yard rusher.

Lol The Biscuit!

The upgrade to Brown over Davidson has really solidfied the middle. I mean when you add Rankins to the DL that is 4 first rounders starring.

Those are Dome Patrol numbers, for real.

Our run D is great, but it was also kind of bizarre of Matt Nagy to go so pass heavy with a QB like Trubisky. I mean, in the 4th quarter when we'd opened up a multi-score lead, it was understandable, but Nagy really seemed like he planned to lean on Trubisky (an iffy QB when he's healthy, and he was just coming back from a shoulder injury).
