The New Orleans Saints defense turned in easily their best performance on Sunday, shutting out a Las Vegas Raiders team that had scored 29+ points in each of their last three games. The defense obviously doesn’t need to shutout every team they play, but if they return to form and can hold teams under 20 points per game the Saints have a real chance to turn the season around, especially given how weak the rest of the division has looked.
