ATLANTA -- The New Orleans Saints tried to fix the issue.
After seeing cornerback Ken Crawley get burned on a few deep balls in the first two games this season, coaches decided to bench Crawley and start P.J. Williams in Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
It was a logical move considering Williams played pretty well as a starter last year before Crawley replaced him, but Williams struggled so much early in Sunday's game that Crawley replaced him before halftime, though Crawley had issues after entering the game, too.
The Saints won the game, 43-37, thanks to an incredible offensive performance, but during stretched where Atlanta led, it looked like Williams and the Saints secondary would receive the most blame because of their struggles covering Falcons rookie receiver Calvin Ridley.
