Why does the D play at such a high level when Brees is out (1 Viewer)

Drew Lock likes to slide late & begs for flags. Expect that next week.

Broncos are already sorely lacking on the offensive side of things... so hopefully the Saints can feast in the Mile High city.

I just hope they dont take them lightly. Comin off a win vs their rival & THill's 1st win can make them complacent

We, as of last week, had the #3 defense, yardage wise. People here just freak out about big plays given up. The D is fine this year.

Yardage wise means little. Not giving up a TD in the last 2 games? Priceless...I think getting MD back invigorated the pass rush and now our guys are just feasting....hope it continues...

Yeah, I called this out last year as well. I think it's because they know they won't have Brees to bail them out. So, they focus more and play harder to keep a lead. Strange.
